California is a nightmare and needs to go form its own country. They can’t manage their forests well at all so, come each fire season, they get national attention again begging for money The homeless population is now contracting the Bubonic Plague too. Have you SEEN rent/gas/food prices out there? They keep passing legislation to either censor something or revoke parental rights… CA is basically not part of the US anymore. Ppl hate Texas bc it’s a red state and that’s their only reason

Texas is basically purple these days. Lots more democrats in the cities who are migrating cuz of the tech jobs. Texas still has its problems though with the power grid and Ted Cruz.

It won’t be purple until Big Wheels is out of office and the original domino of the Gerrymander is stopped.

I always find it interesting that people like you keep finding elementary school insults and fuse them with the name of something you don’t like. It’s like you have a fifth grade reading level and you couldn’t pass social studies, but your parent(s) said it was ok because he, she, or they didn’t graduate either.

Just put someone in charge who knows wtf they’re doing. Not Gavin Newsom who snubbed his nose at everyone during Covid so HE could go eat at a restaurant. Not their state legislature bc they’re part of the problem too. Put someone in there with a BRAIN and a desire to turn the state around. R, D, a monkey, a monkey with a moldy banana—anyone!

It’s more that this list is bad. If you’re gonna talk about the worst states, do the ones with the worst education, healthcare, highest violent crime rates, and are welfare states that are reliant on federal funding that comes from other states (like the ones listed). A better poll would basically include all the southeast states

And the reason the South is high on this lists is because of centuries of poverty and inequality made worse by carpetbaggers and an incompetent federal government. Just because its a bad state to live in does not mean the South doesn't have the best people, cooking and food, nature, wildlife, and history in the country.

Those are all pretty subjective. I’d argue the best nature is in the PNW, food culture is good, and the people are questionable. Georgia literally kept a dead woman alive to incubate a child after letting her die because she was pregnant, robbing her current son and husband of a wife and father. Those states also have the highest rates of hate crimes, with lynchings still happening to this day. Sure, they are historically poor, but their state governments are actively not improving that

“Just put someone in charge who knows wtf they’re doing.” Ah yes. The famously easy task of governing the world’s 5th largest economy. Surely random poster has the solution between Monster Energy breaks. This post reads like someone lost an argument with a gas pump and never emotionally recovered.

From Native American settlement to the Spanish and the French, from the Republic of Texas to the early days of the Union, yes I would say easily the South has the most interesting, dense, diverse, and perhaps unfortunate history of any region in the United States. If all you can think of is slavery this Confederacy that then you need to read up on the history.

No it wasn’t, by the way gun laws in Cali only exist because of Reagan and his detest of black people and specifically the black panther party. Colleges started charging tuition because of Nixon and Reagan and deciding too many black people were going to college in Cali

So let them be their own country. Not even other blue states like them. Give California literally anything and they find a way to ruin it Video games, anime, veterans, parental rights, child care, forestry, housing, wages, criminal justice— The point is, the state is a nuisance. Idgaf about their shit ass politics. They just ruin everything
