Exactly. Was gonna say, 2 basically has the least healthy, least educated, most poor, and most obese people of the entire country.

Good luck

On the other hand, their reps control the federal government and the US military, unfortunately.

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

Can't control much without federal funding.

"But we got all dem Gravy Seals! Ain't they good for somtin'?"

Yes, and you give yourself da Beetus buying soda with the food stamps paid for by New Yorkers.

The sad part is how hard the South committed to losing. Not lost take the L and walk it off. Generational losing. Epic, century-long losing every single fucking day of every life of every redneck, cracker-ass dipshit. Systematic losing, so deeply ingrained that even when they get ahead a little bit, one fucking Yankee asswipe cons half of them out of their every last dime. And they're glad to give it up.

Roman empire levels of tragic, really.

If they could read and comprehend it better they'd be really upset.

They'd have to bring back slavery to even possibly make it viable

They'd also probably turn into a raiding culture

All those fat greasy doomsday prepper types love to advertise just many supplies they have stocked up. They'll be the first ones raided.
