it's almost like putting people who literally fetishize ignorance into positions of power leads to poor leadership

Can we replace Mississippi with Puerto Rico? Keep that 50 star symmetry and all.

Nearly half of Mississippi's revenue comes from Federal dollars, but sure. Good luck running your own country.

Not particularly excited about this because Mississippi has one of the blackest populations in America.

....So if we can work out a deal where the people of color can leave and go to a not shit state, then let's revisit this.

Was tempted to post this, but didn't think it was worth highlighting.

Here's hoping that with local officials no longer needing our own version of the EC in order to get into positions of power, we can start changing this state for the better. (Was on our ballot to do so, as well as turn close elections into runoffs instead of it going to our State House to vote)

I'm not gonna hold my breath, but I'll still hold out hope.

They won't. The need the federal government more than the federal government needs Mississippi.

If Mississippi manages to succeed then I say good on them, the state needs as much help as it can get

I don't know what all this nonsense about leaving is about though

Mississippi is last in everything. Its like a fourth string player threatening to leave the team. Their absence will not be noticed and in fact maybe even benefit the team.

Time for someone to take these poor red states to task. They talk the most shit while constantly needing handouts.
