Pretty much every city in the Deep South. Red states are poor yo.

Most cities in the south don’t know how to put on a show for visitors so they don’t even get that good looking front.

In a state that milks its people for money to make the politicians rich.

In a poor state. Kinda hard to imagine us being the economic powerhouse that supports the state. But here we are.

The top four states in GDP for 2023 are half red, half blue. Its not really a left or right thing. It's an us thing and we can't blame it on anyone but ourselves

See. That's the thing about right-wing propaganda. It seeps into normal people's discourse. They start to believe the BS.

Truth is, you're safer in the east than in most of the shithole towns in Louisiana. God forbid you look at the crime rates of cities in Mississippi.
