I agree with the headline, even if only from personal experience, and I have worked and lived in over 5 states while having worked in over a dozen. I've lost friends and family to the "anti-woke" herd. as such, I've made the choice to go low/no contact with them. they've decided the rights they enjoy aren't good enough for folks that don't vote like them. the bigotry is everywhere it seems! I even quit a job because I wouldn't tolerate the constant Trump/Jesus worship that management was forcing on staff. until a respect for Reason takes hold, I'm afraid this will only get worse.
- I've never been taken advantage of more than when I was working in Texas. YMMV.
- I can relate.
  
  A number of issues, not the least of which was my birther believing unironically that Obama was the Antichrist, led me to go no contact with my family for what will be an entire decade come this December.
Why's anyone surprised, the state has it right on the tin
- The surprising part is that five states are worse than them.
Guess they just live in Missoury
What a weird list. Mississippi is nowhere on it?
- This article is only talking about one of the 10 metrics that CNBC ranked (Life, Health, and Inclusion). For this metric Mississippi ranked 11th. Overall they ranked 3rd worst after Alaska and Louisiana.
