    It’s democrats ranking states based off their policies, so of course the Republican states will all be at the bottom lol.

    Headline should be: “Democrats say Republican states are worst states to live in”.

    We should be posting political articles that aren’t clickbait echo chamber propaganda. Don’t let this become Reddits /r/politics, which was REALLY /r/democrats

      You didn’t even read their metrics did you? It’s based on crime rates, healthcare, quality of health, etc. Those are pretty objective measures, and ones that republican-controlled states often fight against (see: reluctance to expand medicaid).

        Here’s a completely unbiased excerpt about the “worst” state of Texas:

        The Lone Star State keeps hacking away at inclusiveness, with laws targeting the LGBTQ+ population, voting rights, and the nation’s strictest abortion ban. Yes, there are enormous economic opportunities in Texas, and it is attracting people from far and wide. But this state also has some Texas-sized issues when it comes to life, health and inclusion. And it is one of the reasons that the state fell out of the overall top five for the first time in the 16-year history of CNBC’s rankings.

            Your identity is your business, just keep it for yourself instead of trying to abuse women and remove their rights then you’ll become a better person

                No one cares what you “identify” as. Identify as a turkey for all anyone cares. The problem is with coerced speech and trying to invade sex-specific places and events.

                  Coerced speech? Invading? Boy that does sound scary.

                  You have any other completely imaginary strawmen we should be hypothetically scared of?

                    Coerced speech like how some places are now looking at making “misgendering” and “using the wrong pronouns” illegal.

                    Not sure what word other than “invading” you would user for biological men going in to places designed specifically only for biological women?

                    Do you even know what a strawman is?

          Um. Yes. It fucking SUCKS to be a woman, LGBTQ+ + community member, or a minority here in Texas. Good luck if you’re all 3.

          This state is a steaming pile of shit and a blight on America. I wish it would secede, but only after the government offers refugee status to those of us who are sane and want to leave.

          Then Texas can take its misogynistic, racist, bigoted, xenophobic self and go create its own country. And it can take Florida with it!

      Can you provide a ranking where you would say these states would come out top? What kind of metric would you like to see being used?

        I don’t feel like doing enough data analysis to get a perfect flip of these 10 being on top, but you could use criteria like low tax rates, abortion restrictions, and loose gun laws, and get a pretty solid inverse list.

        The better question is what value do these lists have outside of getting a bunch of people who already agree with it circle jerking over how the incredibly biased list proves they’re right?

      “Something bad said against Republicans is propaganda” doesn’t sound fascist at all, huh?
