Turpentine and lumbering were main industries....so you can only imagine the culture. Of course, Cotton is King. The crops are mostly automated now.

I have lived in some nice conservative cities like plano and colorado springs but most American cities are not conservative. I dont even care about the republican party but I really hate the democrats and american liberals

The big lie is that liberalism is the only way city people are and thats wrong. Our cities are dumps compared to the beautiful new cities in asia

There are plenty of dumpy cities in Asia, too.

I lived for 1 year and a half in Singapore and I never saw one homeless person, no crime, amazing state of the art train systems, very futuristic use of tech. Pretty much true in Tokyo and Osaka and many others places in asia I visited or was stationed.

Singapore? You gotta be kidding. Singapore is practically a police state. If you hate liberalism you should hate Singapore even more, neat-and-tidiness notwithstanding. They have mandated ethnic percentages for apartment complexes, strict laws against throwing gum on the ground, and all kinds of other things that would make San Francisco look like a libertarian paradise.

In America even the so called wealthy cities are full of tent cities of homeless, in every park, crappy and decaying mass transit, thugs, etc. There is no real futuristic american city at all

There are plenty of "futuristic" American cities, you probably just haven't been to them. My recent abode of Seattle is one example.

Europe used to be like asia with very safe cities and great mass transit ,and probably still is in many more right wing cities and nations that limit immigration

It's funny that you and some others here tell us Europe is some sort of liberal craphole. I mean, Germany and Britain and Sweden are such awful places to live!

The OP started a thread bashing some very small state Mississippi with no big cities and he lives in a city where a person is shot every two hours 2017 Stats | Chicago Murder, Crime & Mayhem | HeyJackass! and is losing population even when america saw record number of immigrants in 2016?

Most of the people moving out of Chicago these days are the black people. In the meantime, yeah, Chicago is doing horribly.

I have been to biloxi to play poker and it felt alot safer than some northeast pit like atlantic city where you stay near the hotel. He cant explain the difference to me between northern blue cities like crime ridden Baltimore,Camden,Newark, Detroit ,Milwaukee,New haven, Rockford , St Louis, etc and these so called red cities

I even bet the most violent places in miss. are run by democrats

As I pointed out to you already, ALL OF THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WEALTHY BIG CITIES IN THE US ARE RUN BY DEMOCRATS. It's terribly funny you focus just on the democrat-run cities that are dumps, but completely ignore all the nice and prosperous ones.

Tell me about the cost of living in California and the homeless rate in SF and Oakland?
How well is the middle and working class doing in California?

No amount of mud-slinging about California is going to change the fact that any rankings of worst states to live in, by any measure, are dominated by DEEP RED states, states with Republicans in charge at every level.

We're supposed to believe California is some Democratic hell hole when we can pull up and compare the stats for Mississippi? Missouri? Alabama? Louisiana? Arkansas? West Virginia? Alaska? Lol... right.

We're supposed to believe California is failed Democratic experiment when Mississippi is ranked:

#48 in Medical Acceess
#47 in Public Health
#47 in Healthcare Quality
#45 in Education
#50 in Infrastructure
#50 in Household Income
#50 in Poverty Rate
#48 in Economy
#49 in GDP growth
#49 in Labor Force Participation
#50 in Patent Creation


No matter how "bad" it gets in California, they will always have the last laugh b/c they can just point to any of the 20-30 DEEP RED states that they are doing better than. California might be bad, but it's not Deep-Red-Republican bad.

All this was established under Democrat control.

The poverty rate among whites in MS is about the same as the poverty rate among whites in California.

So apparently there is industry there. Not everyone is collecting a welfare check.

Actually besides farming, manufacturing, fishing and the casinos along the river are major industries there.

If your post was a slander of the African American population there which is almost 40% of the population well what can I say. A little racist.

I’d like a Democrat to answer two questions:

1. What year did MS have its governor and legislature go red?

2. How did MS score prior to turning red?

“Well, yeah, ok, Mississippi sucked for decades while run by Democrats, but Flynn lied and was indicted.”

Do you want to link to your own numbers to prove mine wrong?

PS, their numbers come from the census bureau.

If you're implying that it was democrats responsible for MS's bad conditions, your question has already been answered:

I agree. the original poster seems to have problems with black people.
