(24,457 posts)Most of them are shitholes! Doesn't mean you can't still be proud of your state, or that your state doesn't have good spots and good things about it. But when you compare the deep red states to the Blue States, they are absolute shitholes in comparison for things like incomes, health, education, poverty, crime, and almost all quality of life metrics.
Hell, look at life expectancy. Living in one of the deep blue states gives you 10 year longer of life than living in Mississippi. How the hell can in one country, someone living in Massachusetts expect to live to 80 and someone living in Mississippi only expect to live to 70? This isn't about a 1 or 2 year gap, this is a full decade of life difference. The elected leaders in Red States are literally killing the citizens there.

We should be talking about Federal takeovers of these states whose governments are doing such a poor job for their citizens. It's beyond the pale that being born under Republic rulers means you and your family are going to live 6, 7, 8, or even 10 years less than people born in blue states.
