Is Mississippi getting better? Not so much. I'll be willing to bet any amount of money that in 10 years the San Francisco Bay Area will still be creating more GDP, more new companies, more innovation, and more of pretty much everything except obesity than the states of Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas combined despite having half the population. As it has for decades now. This narrative that somehow these places that create most of the country's GDP are populated entirely by you so-called "takers" is just absurd. And given the amount that red states contribute to both our GDP and tax base compared to blue states, it's clear it's simply projection by the real "takers"... conservative states. BTW, I don't mind propping up my red state brethren or anyone else who needs it. Unlike your feelings about our big cities, I wish Mississippi, Alabama and the rest all the best and actually actively work to help accomplish that. They need some help, I'm in a position to provide it. That doesn't make them lazy, communist, brainwashed, takers or anything else. It just makes them fellow Americans who aren't in a position to contribute to our economy as much as the more liberal states are. I wish they'd realize that their conservative viewpoints are contributing to them being last in every metric that counts and first in all the ones they don't want to be, but until they do or even if they never do I'm still willing to help those who live there who are in need. I wonder if you can say the same?
Biden to end most tax cuts if he wins. This will be intriguing.

lol I hope you are right. We all need a win in this lose lose race.
It's not the stupid or controversial things I'm referring to at all. It's the ability to string together a coherent sentence. Again, stop and read the quote I posted. Really, go back and read it. I just can't make myself believe that you honestly, deep down, believe those to be the words of an intelligent, fully functioning brain. I can provide you dozens of those, times when he stops in every sentence to search for a common word, makes a half dozen stabs at it, then talks around the word...only to do it again with another word two sentences later. That's cognitive decline, he wasn't like that a decade ago.
I've provided you actual quotes and am happy to provide you as many as you want. Perhaps you can provide the entire unredacted Biden quotes that caused you to come to your opinion on his health? Seems only fair doesn't it? Even if you won't read what I've provided I'll be happy to read what you provide.
That's right up there with "At least we're not Mississippi" which if you've ever lived in the south is something you literally hear all the time.
So you are a Northerner that thinks they know the South but lives in Cali? Am I close?
I spent 20+ years in the military. About half were in the South, the rest were literally in every other corner of the country. I did my undergrad at one of the service academies and grad school in the Bay Area. And have been married to a southerner for 20 years and spend several weeks in the deep south every year with relatives. How about you? How long have you lived in the cities you "think you know"?
Thank you for your service. It is surprising to run into a career officer academy prodigy that leans left. It is unusual. You are in the minority.
I have lived and loved my past life in California. Sadly California has changed and I no longer consider it home.
Comparing present day San Fran to Mississippi is unusual as well. Honestly I have only visited Mississippi and have not lived there but I have never seen people poop on the sidewalks there. So, comparing San Fran to the South seems stupid. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida is home for me. Nobody poops on the sidewalks.

I believe relative to yourself that Trump may indeed be an intelligent man. However, that's not saying much. Anyone who gets into that "left" vs "right" bs as a talking point in a discussion with strangers believes far too much in superstitious crap.
