I'm surprised nobody has said Idaho, given that it's been known for its white supremacists lately.

Oklafuckinghoma. Heat, tornadoes, ice storms, earthquakes, hail and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.

And gonna be in the 100s next week here in Tulsa.

IMO - Texas, while places like Mississippi, Arkansas, and Oklahoma always rank below, I believe Texas is actively trying to kill itself. Those other states are poorer and more rural. Texas has the resources and money to be one of the most prosperous states. Yet, they keep voting for Greg Abbott (aka piss baby), Ken Paxton, and Ted Cruz. People there are so brainwashed that they believe anyone who is not an uber republican will come and make all the frog gay, let kids poop in liter-boxes, and give all their money to drug addicts. It's just sad. I finally just gave up on trying to make any difference there and left for the sake of my kids.
A perfect example is my mother-in-law who HATES Greg Abbott. She blames him for leaving the state for dead during snowmageddon. So she just refuses to vote in Governor elections.

My friend who claims they're a communist has been to Texas twice and loves it. Beats me why.

Florida. Heat, humidity, stench of water from the sprinkler systems, lousy coffee from the crappy drinking water, most jobs literally don't allow you to work OT. Many only hire 32 hour people. Terrible drivers, especially all the Qtip bitches that should've stopped driving 20 years ago. Redneck Nation. Massive POS politics.
Fuck Florida.

Florida used to be black on Erin's trans safety map. It was literally its own "DO NOT GO HERE" category. Unfortunately the only thing that has changed is that it's no longer alone.
-
It's so funny (not in a good way) to see this change - I grew up going to drag shows, there is still so much gay culture here, and it's such a a diverse place, no matter what axis you spin it on. We know trans people (one of my kids among them, but older people too) and there isn't much discrimination "on the ground" here, my trans kid got a job the same place my other kids did, and only HR keeps the paperwork with physical sex as gender, in practice they are treated as they choose. And that's at a nominally religious place. In school too, the teachers and kids did not care, just took it in stride. The outright hostility in Tallahassee is insane, but it doesn't translate to hostility in the city here. Or not yet at least.
Make Florida Freaky Again. That will be my platform if ever I run for governor.
The stinky water is because they let you use reclaimed water for watering a lawn, it's hella efficient and good for the plants. Gardens don't need drinking water. It does smell bad but is a good thing.

Been saying it for years. We should've left it to the spainards, the spainards shoulda left it to the natives and the natives shoulda left it to the god damn trees.

What's not to love? The new Alligator Auschwitz is a glorious new addition, brought to all by our glorious Great Pumpkin (Putkin?)

There is no universal, objective answer. It depends who you are, your financial situation, your political views, etc.
That said, the states that suck the most for the most people are conservative places with lots of rural poverty. Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, ...
-
the state of denial that half the county is in that believes orange shitler will help them.
-
The current state?
-
Misery. Wait, hang on, sorry, I spelled that wrong. Missouri.

You get it. Oklahoma Florida Missouri Mississippi all horrible places

Nobody saying Florida? Swamps, gators, slowly sinking into the ocean, home to way too many grumpy old people and crazy drug addicts (see Florida man) and Trumps shitty golf club. Also some of the absolute biggest peices of shit for politicians- DeSantis, Rick Scott, Gaetz ect
-
Don't forget Alligator Auschwitz! I hear they're selling merch.
-
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi are all shit holes honestly same goes for Houston TX as well. I'm not saying my state of Oklahoma is any better. I lived in California for 4 years and kill to go back however it's just too expensive
-
Please make sure Missouri is added to your damn near perfect list
-
-
-
Any state with a GOP supermajority.
-
Hey now, Kansas isn't so bad if you are white.
Oh wait.
-
-
Mississippi and Alabama tend to compete for the worse state top spot
-
At least those have the ocean and Huntsville. Like poccalyps said, Oklahoma by far.
-
-
Ohio was pretty bad, so much so I moved back to Texas...

-
Oh no, I am sorry for you. Which city?
-
-
Almost certainly Mississippi
-
I mean honestly if the words worst and state are in the question the answer is almost always Mississippi.
-
Idk I think Florida is going to give them a run for their money soon. Insurance can deny claims and coverage more easily now and FEMA's been crippled.
-
Mississippi is the worst state I've been to. I can't imagine living there.
-
Mississippi doesn't have enough character to be the worst. It seems to be bad in every way, but it doesn't have the flair for actively destructive stupidity that make Florida and Texas what they are.
-
It's not up for debate. It's Mississippi.
-
Probably Mississippi, Oklahoma, or West Virginia
And with all the MAGA turds that moved to Florida and it’s terrible government it’s gotta be close to those top 3
-
Absolutely Mississippi. My wife has family in Meridian, MS and I shudder thinking about being stuck there my whole life.
-
Wyoming. Corrupt, cold, ugly if you're not rich, and full of morons who do things like thank coal workers for their service.

South Dakota

Lived in Watertown when I was a kid. My first Halloween there we had to trick or treat in 1 foot of snow. Other than the cold it wasn't so bad, insanely beautiful landscapes however I did notice a lot of mild racism to Indians.
-

-
All of them!
-
Anytime related to the "South". West Coast is chill. East Coast is chill.
-
Too far down the east coast gets gross. What's your cutoff?
Personally, I'd say North Carolina.
-
-
Any of them that make up the southern border. They are almost unilaterally shitholes that would cut off their arm if it meant the "right" people suffer.
-
Leave New Mexico off that list. While not perfect, they sure have been knocking it out of the park recently. It's stunningly beautiful too
-
Before or after the Breaking Bad era? (/s)

I think all states probably have ok cities in them somewhere, and that it depends on your preferences but I would never live in Alaska.
And all states have downsides too. Mississippi and Oklahoma have the worst schools. Florida and Texas have crazy politicians. Wyoming doesn't want you there. Colorado has angry ranchers and pretentious yuppies. California has Bakersfield.
-
Alaska. Remote, expensive, so cold your car's tires freeze with the flat spot they had while you were parked so you thump thump thump down the graveled roads until they stretch out, and to paraphrase @poccalyps, 'ice storms, earthquakes,... and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.'

HAHAHA!!!

-
Bakersfield? I think you forgot Redding.
-

Depression
-
Well I can say from experience that after 2 decades of it you just feel "normal" because depressed has become your normal!
-
My smart watch likes to remind me frequently that I had a "stressful" day and to try to do better tomorrow. I'm like "bitch this is my baseline. Lower your expectations."

right now, to the rest of the world it would seem that it’s the contiguous united ones…

poverty

State of Emergency. Because its either Zeus/Poseidon being mad at us (aka: Hurricanes), or it's martial law... and that means they're rolling in the tanks, it would be 100x worse than even the darkest day of the current US admin so far.

By the numbers, probably Mississippi. Lowest life expectancy, highest infant mortality rate, second highest poverty rate...being ranked 39th in education actually seems to be a bright spot for them.
