Yeah, but then they’ll migrate es masse to the sane states and eventually turn us batshit too
“Siri, show me the backwards-ass states where I will never live.” >

Are these what you might call "shithole" states? >

I live in Louisiana… confirmed shithole state… if it wasn’t for Mississippi we’d be dead last in everything else besides the things we’re already dead last in… >

Thank God for Mississippi! >

That might be the first time anyone has ever uttered that sentence. >

Heh, that sentence has a Wikipedia entry >

Ouch:
"Thank God for Mississippi" is an adage used in the United States, particularly in the South, that is generally used when discussing rankings of U.S. states. Since the U.S. state of Mississippi commonly ranks at or near the bottom of such rankings, residents of other states also ranking near the bottom may say, "Thank God for Mississippi," since the presence of that state in 50th place spares them the shame of being ranked last. >

Overlay a poverty index and take me to flavortown >

Maternal and infant mortality rates as well! There seems to be a correlation, the more “pro-life” a state is, the higher infant and maternal mortality rates are. >

Throw in cannabis legalization. Hell throw in “Little Russia” and see what states show up. Amazing how much influence they have over congress. 🤢 >

It's almost like our government has been co-opted and we've already been defeated we just don't know it yet. >

The parasite states. >

Thirteen of them. Idaho, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Montana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama >

When will women start to leave these states? >

It's going to be a brain drain, and it's going to be horrific for those states specifically in the fields of nursing and teaching. >

Doesn’t matter.   Those states are closing hospitals and restricting education already >

Idaho already sends a lot of its patients into Washington for care anyway, in true red-state fashion they can't take care of themselves. >

Yep, fucking love seeing maskless folks climbing out of cars with idaho plates when we take my mom to chemo. >

I'm relieved mine died before the pandemic. The only thing worse than holding your Moms' hand as she takes her last breath is not being allowed to do so. All the best to you and your Mom.  Fuck cancer. I hope she kicks its' ass. >

What they said. Dad passed a bit before the covid thing, and I'm now kind of glad of it, since his compromised immune system would have meant it hit the whole household if he so much as got looked at funny by a carrier.  
And since I live in a little ratfuck republican town in Eastern WA, he -would- have gotten looked at funny by a carrier.  
Locals here picked the Planned Parenthood every week. Place doesn't even do abortions. >

States to not move to. The usual suspected so far. >

It’s amazing how consistent that list tends to be, isn’t it? >

Georgia is at least moving in the left direction by electing blue Senators. >

they have a MTG problem though. And the Warnock election was way too close. They were a hair's breath away from electing Hershel fuckin Walker. >

Tbf, MTG ran unopposed. Literally nobody lives in her bumfuck district. Atlanta and the surrounding metro area are the only things pulling us blue, but the rest of the state is a backwards mess. >

Marcus Flowers was her democratic rival. but Dems in that area have no chance. >

Sorry, I meant her first election win. She won the first time unopposed. Then after she made a name for herself, she was the incumbent so she had that momentum to win the second time. But yeah, that area is in the middle of nowhere and like completely inbred so Dems have no chance 😂. >

That election didnt start with her unopposed.  Her and her fan base harassed the other candidate to the point where his family left him, the hate continued until he had to drop out. >

Wait, Wisconsin?!?!?!? I thought at least they would be better than that. Wait to quote the voice of god, “Bartlebee, was Wisconsin really that bad?” >

It is due to a law from 1849. The current governor is a Democrat that has claimed he would not enforce the law and has made calls to repeal the law. Naturally this has been opposed by state conservatives. >

Wisconsin Supreme Court election is coming up. If Dems manage flip a seat things could change. >

I'm not sure how our Supreme Court is voted in tbh. But I have never heard of a vote for Supreme Court. I believe they are possibly voted on internally or in very small and locally controlled elections. Just my guess like I said I have never heard of an election I could vote in. >

Yeehaw. >

A comprehensive list of states not to live in. >

It looks like cancer growing out of the South. >

States where Jews have set up an "abortion underground railroad" because fuck religious assholes trying to deprive us of our 1st amendment rights. >

I don’t usually upvote comments that start with “States where Jews have set up…” but here you go >

I, uh, was a little nervous about where that was going, too. >

So basically all the states with sky-high maternal mortality before the overturning of Roe are about get a lot worse. 
“Pro-life” 🤡 >

Need a modern day General Sherman of abortion rights >

It’s so weird seeing Wisconsin change from a progressive populist blue state to a purple state that operates like it’s deep red. >

One of the worst as far as gerrymandering impact.  Also, there was that supreme court case up there that said during Covid you couldn't extend time to mail in Ballots even though in Milwaukee they went from 180 polling places to 5 because "ordinarily" the courts should change voting rules.  Except was covid extrodinary?
Fucking hypocrites. >

States that I will never go to or spend a dime in >

Is this the "Stupid Belt?" >

As a former Wisconsinite I vote stupid belt and a mitten >

Six week bans are effectively bans, and those are in more states. >

This is an increasingly barbaric country. >

Fucking Bible Belt. It’s why we don’t have legalized weed in Ga. I can’t wait for these old folks to die. >

The public needs step by step instructions on how to fix the issue. Not trackers of doom. Not tragedies that subsume "action." Not sad stories or fawning history lessons. 
FFS, people need a road map with instructions. >

I’m response to the ban here in Alabama and overall lack of healthcare present, my girlfriend and I decided I would get a vasectomy right before my 21 birthday last October. I had many doctors and a plethora of my family and friends tell me I’m making a mistake and how the Bible they study says not to do such a thing. I did some research and made it happen as I care for my partners safety more than I care about some unjust ideology that is constantly forced upon the citizens of America. >

Okay, now do a map that overlays the locations of the former confederate states, and locations of known neonazi compounds (like the one in North idaho).
-insert theyre the same picture meme. >

Thanks to climate change, at least half of those states will become borderline (if not completely) uninhabitable
