Why is Mississippi a conservative Republican state?
>>
They're literally the worst state
All the inbreeding = low iqs
Low iqs = conservative voters
>>
>>532671096
They disenfranchised the black voters through gerrymandering.
Their population centers are mostly white except the state capital. The majority of the African Americans live within 10 miles of their ancestor’s slave plantations. The rest of the state is majority white.
Poorest state in the union but every county has private white Christian “seg” academies.

The white ruling class are all former slave owners and currently own the majority of real estate while they continue to exploit the population via ownership of check cashing and payday loan operations.

I lived in Mississippi for a decade. Very little evidence of inbreeding compared to the Midwest, Appalachia and New England.

>>532671096
wow thats interesting
you can see how the flow of the mississippi river changed since the borders of the state were drawn
>>
>>532671096
White people vote for Republicans by 90/10 margins and they vote more than the black people who vote Democrat by the same margins. Voting patterns in the South have always been racial demographic polling. White people vote the opposite of what black people do and vice versa.

I just learned that this state had legal slavery until 2013. I thought it was abolished on 1865 like all the other states kek

You read wrong lmao

>>532673008

They simply didn’t ratify the federal law until 2013.

The state legislature were busy voting themselves pay raises plus a supplement pension for legislators called the Supplemental Legislature Retirement Plan (SLRP). Yes, they named it SLRP.

Anyone who is genuinely curious about Mississippi and wants some comfy kino to watch. I recommend Mississippi Public Broadcasting’s long running TV series “Mississippi Roads”

You think with all the blacks they would be a blue state.

I visited it on a roadtrip and it was a huge shithole, full of niggers and white niggers. The whole of Mississippi delta just reeked of poverty, but a special kind of poverty, not the shit you can see in the gypsy slums Bucharest or Calcutta, not the kind of grey decay of post-soviet commieblocks somewhere in Central Asia, not the uniform diarrhea brown everything, including buildings and people of Cairo, not even the kind of never amounted to anything mega-shitholes of African cities, cause I saw all of them with my eyes.

This is the kind of poverty that is fucking inexplicable and 100% rest of the shit quality humans infesting the area in a lazy stupor of learned helplessness. They have the land, they have resources, they are part of a large and relatively functioning state giving them gibs and its... nothing. You could walk into a village and see hambeasts sitting on a trash covered porch, complaining about how they are going to die of hunger. When you ask them why don't they just plant something in their acres of land if they are neets anyway, they stare at you like you just offered five dollars to fuck their mom. No, scratch that, they would actually consider that.

You can wander through all the dead villages where everything is closed and boarded up. All the small shops are gone, the crafts and the railroad were gone a hundred years ago and now even ghetto ass places like Dollar General are gone. The only places left are gas stations where everyone congregates to buy fuel, crack, beers and cigarettes. The only jobs available are the few government workers pretending to run the places and the gas station attendants. There is nothing, because no one does anything, just wait for gibs, then blow it all at a big walmart trip for goyslop or at the gas station, then spend their entire neet lives of just loafing around. There is no market, cause no one has any money to spend on anything, no taxes cause no one earns anything nor produces anything.

The Mississippi Delta became a manufacturing hub in the mid 70s until the mid 80s. Labor was cheap and Americans wanted Made in USA. What changed was offshoring manufacturing to China. The factories that were making slow cookers, lawnmowers, refrigerators, hand tools, and other stuff went to China. All that remained was a few furniture factories and they are closing too.

>>532675297
One of the cons of having a strong currency and no career.
Even your own labor (before taxation, fines, legal restrictions, etc.) is so worthless at times that you're better off going to the local store for any individual thing you want.
You can't compete in the market because your operating costs are too high compared to even relatively new MNCs.

It honestly hurts to hear this coming from a Hungarian. We really fucked the South.

You're thinking of a constitutional amendment, not a law. And the extrajudicial ratification is a meme, once 66% +1 states ratify it becomes part of the constitution. The state legislature doesnt even have the qualification to 'ratify' a statement that is now formally part of the constitution and supercedes their existence entirely.
>>
>>532675793
You cannot blame that alone. Plenty of places in the world went through massive waves of unemployment and managed to pull through without becoming perma-shitholes. This only happens when there is no small scale industry, no services, no government jobs, not even agriculture remains in an area and it becomes self-perpetuating. Infrastructure rots away, skilled labor dies or migrates away so all you have left is a desert of unemployable crack addicts on gibs and of course, no one in the right mind would ever bring any manufacturing there. The only thing able to prevent this would have been dedicated government intervention, helping small firms survive, keeping schools and other government services open, if for nothing else to provide some jobs, maybe even starting some infrastructure projects. Bit too late for that now.

Its not even just that, but that sheer, indolent laziness, the learned helplessness that made me so upset at these lardies. Gypsies always try to scam and hustle, jeets are always on the grind and even african cities have a sort of liveliness to them, people are trying to trade, to craft, to get ahead in life. Here all they do is expecting more government gibs while complaining about the government. They do literally NOTHING to imrpove their own lot in life. As I said, there are miles and miles of barren land everywhere, overgrown with kudzu that no one is using. No one feels the need to just plant some fruits or vegetables for personal use. No one feels the need to make an orchard and sell a few trucks of apples or pears with zero effort each year. No one makes craft shit or anything You could walk through a random shithole Hungarian village and see several of those, people wanting to sell their chili sauces, their dried pasta, their pickled quail eggs their jams, their preserves, their dried mushrooms, their honey, their lavender soaps, their herbal creams etc. They come in neat, professional packaging, websites, etc. too. There is a cottage industry, people are enterprising, trying to make something happen even as a side gig. There is a market because people make a market for each other and there is a demand for tourists and city slickers to buy their stuff. Money continues to circulate in the system, so people are not priced out of their country by Amazon and labor in China.

Even in deepest Appalachia, the mountain rednecks had their own gigs running. They kept offering me if I want a 5gallon jug of moonshine, a freezer full of deer meat, a couple boar skulls, a box of handloads, weed grown by his cousin Larry, and so on. Not in the delta though. There everyone just resigned to being a fat shithead loafing around all day. The closest match I've ever seen was transuralic post-soviet villages after the factory has shut down

I briefly lived in Mississippi and that basically sums it up. Even the "nicer" coastal areas. Shittiest place I've ever lived, and I've been all over the country.
>>
>>532679934
And to be clear, it was the people, the worthless, lazy, retarded people.
As far as I could tell the most popular profession was CI (confidential informant) so basically a crackhead that the cops let have free reign to be a crackhead. That or working at the shipyard that the US only keeps running just in case, most of those people were also crackheads of course.
>>
>>532679051
Appalachia is a logistical challenge with no reward, so the locals have to do what the companies can't.
The flatlands of middle America are obviously easy to transport goods to, so the prices and regulations differ.
As I said before, it's a currency issue. You obviously can't compete with major agribusiness networks running through every fertile zone on the planet, so you'd be growing the food just for yourself. Same with all other types of items.
Why bother?
Look at your examples. Poor people selling to other poor people who can't afford to import, or who'd need to budget. Doing this can potentially get them somewhere in life, even if only socially.
Mississippians can easily afford most anything so long as they don't set off a tax with something they do, and the government can easily throw them some dollars whenever they feel like subsidizing major retailers.
Buying three apples and a new coat doesn't get you respect. Only dedicated luxury objects like overpriced sneakers and big trucks can do that.
If you leave that ecosystem, you obviously don't show up in the numbers directly. Instead, you provide remittances, reinforcing the dynamic. Pensions have the same effect as well.

>>532679051

Did you cross over into Alabama at all?

I might be potentially moving to Mobile. It seemed like a nice place when I visited (even the blacks were polite)...

>You obviously can't compete with major agribusiness networks running through every fertile zone on the planet, so you'd be growing the food just for yourself. Same with all other types of items.

You cannot compete in producing onions, corn syrup and sneed oils, but youu can absolutely compete in niche products and there are thousands and thousands of those in agriculture. There is an entire long tail of demand to serve. And even before that, growing your food for yourself is absolutely worth it, breaking free from the goyslop cycle. With all the awareness about healthy eating and biofoods and organic and all the other buzzwords, the market for those is actually not even that small and its growing. Anyone could have been the one to find a niche for his product and sell it to the hipsters in New York with a 400% markup.


>>532681363
I did, but did not seem to be especially different. That Mississippi delta gloom hung over it too.
