The weather is madness, but we have a lot of pluses. We are definitely one of the the reddest states in the nation. We are in the Bible Belt and have a very strong Christian population. I'm pretty sure that more than half our population consists of country folks. Country folks are incredibly resilient.
We are a gun sanctuary state! This is a huge plus in my viewpoint. We have Wanemacher's, The World's Largest Gunshow twice a year. I used to go all the time with my dad.
Imo, it's the best place to be when the bleep hits the fan.
We have a bunch of cattle and a bunch of oil. I'm not sure why we don't just become our own country lol jk
