49. Oklahoma is a lost cause

Sat Dec 6, 2025, 07:08 PM

Dec 6

Spent 9 years there in the military. Those that chose to stay have turned out to be full on MAGA. I have one good friend from there remaining and she is liberal. I've unfriended most of my fellow soldiers as they have become complete racist assholes and bitches. Their patriotism is a complete joke to me. Oklahoma is the abyss and and their numbers don't lie. Their ranking makes them one of the worst states to live in
