Poverty, lack of opportunity, lack of education, lack of intellectual curiosity, lack of introspection, lack of a sense of adventure, corrupt leaders they reelect on ideological grounds instead of outcomes, but with progressive enclaves like any state

I do think you can't get a complete picture of America without understanding places like Oklahoma, but America is a big place and contains a lot of different cultures.

It's an interesting story, I definitely appreciate learning about this... and one which is very specific to Oklahoma, and doesn't reveal all that much (nor would I say it's necessary to hear to understand the crux) of Americanism.

Something that happened in 1921 is all you need to understand about Oklahoma.
I lived in Texas for over three decades. It's my god given right not to understand Oklahoma.
