Mississippi! In just about every metric you can imagine the state is at or near the bottom. And the sad part is they seem to okay with it.

Well most Mississippians are very conservative (even the black ones, which are considerable!). And Mississippi is a very red state. So not many liberals there to try to oppose their proud redneck/god fearin’ Christian lifestyle, and the few liberals that are there are vastly outnumbered.

So to them, a lot about Mississippi May not be perfect, but they can live their life in the conservative style they like with the government their all conservative (I.e. they can be as bigoted and backwards as they like with less people calling them out on it than in any other state).

Dude I live in Mississippi and I’m a liberal and honestly, having my whole family be die hard Christian anti-mask trump supporters, it’s just hard, especially since I’m a bi atheist.

Like I find it hard to even be around my family anymore, and when I get enough money im totally moving up north.

In conclusion, fuck Mississippi, and all the racist trump supporters in it.
