To sum up the info below, Hell is filled with undereducated white republicans.

In Hell, 32.63% of all adults have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher. Educated women are far less likely to vote for conservatives, and in Hell women make up 45.67% of the population.

The majority race in Hell overall is white, making up 94.4% of residents. The next most-common racial group is hispanic at 3.6%. With a diversity score of 24 out of 100, Hell is less diverse than other US cities.

This is why a border wall isn't high enough. He needs to build an airtight dome to stop wind from flying in to turn teleprompters. Antifa sent the wind to disrupt his speech.
