Yup. Hard to argue that the most conservative states also are the poorest, least educated, and most violent.They won't touch this one.
Really? I will. Let’s start with LBJ, Jesse Jackson, and Sharpton.They won't touch this one.
So it's your contention that the 10 poorest states in the former Confederacy are that way because of Lyndon Johnson, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton, rather than their decades long republican majority & super majority legislatures?Really? I will. Let’s start with LBJ, Jesse Jackson, and Sharpton.
This isn’t even a dog whistle, it’s full-blown racist bullshit. I’d have more respect for you if you just owned up to being a racist vs denying and trying to rationalize.Really? I will. Let’s start with LBJ, Jesse Jackson, and Sharpton.
What's ironic is if you dive into those numbers more (you won't) its the large population centers in those states that are ran by democrats. Almost EVERY SINGLE one of those states largest cities are ran by democrats.
Lol. You guys continue to own yourselves. The rural areas are the poorest. So as bad as the cities might be in those states, they are still in better shape than the rural communities.What's ironic is if you dive into those numbers more (you won't) its the large population centers in those states that are ran by democrats.

Oh the irony.
Yeah, apparently they exclusively focused their efforts on those states in the Deep South and ignored anything at the national level or in northern or western states.So it's your contention that the 10 poorest states in the former Confederacy are that way because of Lyndon Johnson, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton, rather than their decades long republican majority & super majority legislatures?
Shhhh. Don't say the quiet part.What's ironic is if you dive into those numbers more (you won't) its the large population centers in those states that are ran by democrats. Almost EVERY SINGLE one of those states largest cities are ran by democrats.

There is a reason why they hate data.

Lol, then why don’t you see the same in blue counties in blue states?If you drill in at the county level, you will find high correlation between blue counties and violence, education and poverty within these red states.

Lol, I totally get this sentiment. The main reason people have moved to the south was because it’s cheap. And people who move somewhere because it’s cheap tend to not be the best kind of neighbors.The south is a terrible place to live. Don't move down here. ITS AWFUL!!!!

Your maps are a weak attempt. High homicide rates are most prevalent in the south. Cool, you are proving my point.Looks like there is correlation there as well per the maps I posted above (on overall crime, homicide seems to be much more highly correlated to blue counties in the south). You should dig more deeply into the data, but it's clear the blue counties are a major major problem.
How big is the lot? (Or where the hell do you live?)My next door neighbor is about to sell his lot (just the lot, no house) for between $3-4M. It's not necessarily cheap to live in the south. Plenty of people with means moving to my area.
Your maps are a weak attempt. High homicide rates are most prevalent in the south. Cool, you are proving my point.
Then you are also showing a map from 2013, which is the tail-end of the deepest economic crisis in 50+ years. Cherry pick much?
What do you mean by that?Lol, I totally get this sentiment. The main reason people have moved to the south was because it’s cheap. And people who move somewhere because it’s cheap tend to not be the best kind of neighbors.
You are in Charleston, correct? Yes, I know a few retirees from wall st who have decided to spend part of the year there. They can buy property they would not be able to buy in The Hamptons.My next door neighbor is about to sell his lot (just the lot, no house) for between $3-4M. It's not necessarily cheap to live in the south. Plenty of people with means moving to my area.
Typically those aren’t the type who are bringing in disposable income, or economic opportunities to help elevate the economy of where they are moving.What do you mean by that?
You will say it’s culture, and I will say it’s poverty rates and lax gun laws. Then we will go back and forth for 10-20 replies arguing.Correction: High homicide rates are most prevalent in democrat counties in the south.
That was a follow-up map to show trend. The homicide map is more recent to align with 2020 election results. Do you think the trend has changed much? Those counties are still some of the most violent in the country. And they are solidly blue.
Why do you think people in blue counties in the south murder people at such a higher rate? I don't think that's a contested fact here.
Like Trump once said while mocking Rob DeSanctimonious...it's hard to screw up sunny skies, beaches, and no winter.The south is a terrible place to live. Don't move down here. ITS AWFUL!!!!

I’m not even close to being a racist. You are missing the point.This isn’t even a dog whistle, it’s full-blown racist bullshit. I’d have more respect for you if you just owned up to being a racist vs denying and trying to rationalize.
100% agree. I actually have a sliver of respect, in a very perverse way, for Nick Fuentes and his little faction because they own what they are. They don't try to deny it. Magas want to be allowed their unfettered racism without acknowledging that it's racist.This isn’t even a dog whistle, it’s full-blown racist bullshit. I’d have more respect for you if you just owned up to being a racist vs denying and trying to rationalize.
The Democrats concentrated in any particular urban center do not have control over state legislation. The state legislative body in all those states is at least majority republican.What's ironic is if you dive into those numbers more (you won't) its the large population centers in those states that are ran by democrats.

Oh wow. Racist shit bag? I've clearly struck a nerve. Not sure anything i've said would make you think im racist. Shit bag? Maybe. Keep swinging bro.The Democrats concentrated in any particular urban center do not have control over state legislation. The state legislative body in all those states is at least majority republican.
I know none of that will make any difference to a racist shitbag like you though. It comes with the territory.
Notice none of the top 10 were in the Union.Yeah, apparently they exclusively focused their efforts on those states in the Deep South and ignored anything at the national level or in northern or western states.
🤣🤣 I don't think it.Oh wow. Racist shit bag. I've clearly hit a nerve. Not sure anything i've said would make you think im racist. Shit bag? Maybe. Keep swinging little man.
Maga mentality - say a bunch of racist stuff then get offended when called a racist.Oh wow. Racist shit bag? I've clearly struck a nerve. Not sure anything i've said would make you think im racist. Shit bag? Maybe. Keep swinging bro.
Lets also be honest, when someone randomly throws out the race card thats often a sign you have lost your argument.
What was racist? Such a weird take.Maga mentality - say a bunch of racist stuff then get offended when called a racist.
