It may be 2 years in a row in that ranking, but to most of us, it's been a lifetime

roboskippy.bsky.social•30 days ago

They're proud of it.

b0ringlyf3.bsky.social•30 days ago

Well yeah Mike doesn’t have to live there anymore He lives in DC so the hell with Louisiana smh

lsdawson.bsky.social•30 days ago

Embarrassed for my son who lives there!

lovetoken.bsky.social•30 days ago

Joy! Johnson does NOT represent that city. At all. A city incredibly important to the country due to its proximity to the Gulf of MEXICO. That city voted 82% Harris-Walz. A city represented by Troy Carter. Previously Cedric Richmond. The people of NOLA hate Johnson too.

chriswideawake.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yeah I really wish our liberal friends in the coasts would stop threatening Nola because Mike Johnson is a creep fascist. We had nothing to do with that shit.

lovetoken.bsky.social•30 days ago

Red states have blue cities and blue dots. It’s just a sign that tRUMP/MAGA is succeeding at dividing us when we are supposed to be the UNITED states. It’s directly out of the fascist playbook.

chriswideawake.bsky.social•30 days ago

Amen. NOLA has a lot of the LGBTQ population of the Gulf Coast because so many do not feel safe in the towns they grew up in.

originofpeace.bsky.social•30 days ago

Just sickening

bluebeartx.bsky.social•30 days ago

Lol!!

littlebip.bsky.social•30 days ago

I lived there for 1.5 months, and I concur it is a terrible place to be in. Would NEVER go back there for ANY reason.

jonthebru.bsky.social•30 days ago

Don't forget "Cancer Alley". That's where poisons spewed by chemical plants make large numbers of people suffer and die from cancer.

chay3.bsky.social•30 days ago

In no universe, dimension, astroplain, whatever, does Johnson work for or thinks about ANYone in Louisiana. He's lining his pockets, like most of the hill.

vicstar64.bsky.social•30 days ago

It figures

bibilee.bsky.social•30 days ago

I guess living in generational poverty, poor education, and poor health is normal now. Expectations are low, so when their elected officials do nothing to help them, they don't care.

bibilee.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yet, GOP has no problem getting elected over and over again

robocopperpot.bsky.social•30 days ago

But that's where all the nice cunts live....

richardbt23.bsky.social•29 days ago

Shoot they have New Orleans and they are still ranked worst than Alabama?

roryverrett.bsky.social•30 days ago

It also has open carry gun laws. Ignorance and violence, common bedfellows.

jds1940.bsky.social•30 days ago

Thank you. This group of republicans are a bunch of evil and sick people. There needs to be more organized pushback. Trump is going too far.
Dems need a Rapid Response Team to respond to the lies and wrong doing.

bandedhawk.bsky.social•30 days ago

How will Mike Johnson deal with the suspension of SNAP and other subsidies in his state?

mukuelakai.bsky.social•30 days ago

😆😆😆. MJ is a dumbass.

battlewagondriver.bsky.social•30 days ago

Having lived there, I concur.

indypnw.bsky.social•30 days ago

I love New Orleans. However, Louisiana is a ruby red shithole state. Run by Republicans and is more than happy to accept federal welfare funded by democrat run blue states. Socialism.

MAGA Mike is a ridiculous human being.

thecat854.bsky.social•30 days ago

And yet they vote in the same crap representation every election
Why?
NO PRIMARY CHALLENGER
Republicans and democrats will vote republican or democrat. With no primary challenger, the voter is left with NO CHOICE. And we get 90 year old lifers. They are not going to flip parties. PRIMARY EVERYONE

judithkh1951.bsky.social•30 days ago

He's just another ignorant Republican.

adriamadamjeffery.bsky.social•30 days ago

Born and unfortunately still here,but that maga asshole they got for governor more concerned about the ten commandments in schools and abortion.
But I blame the many fellow poc here who didn't vote for governor or president.
Football and etc sports are priority.

missmauve.bsky.social•30 days ago

So we have a speaker that was literally picked from the bottom of the barrel… 🙄

chicarney.bsky.social•30 days ago

And they insist on repeatedly voting against their own best interest.

tastewart.bsky.social•30 days ago

This is saying something! I didn’t think any state could be worse than Mississippi!

lei304.bsky.social•30 days ago

It's the worst state in America. for whom? Certainly not for Mr. Johnson wearing thousand dollar suites & enjoying expensive amenities. The real news should be how the people in his state are kept impoverished at the expense of the federal government. Consent decrees for states. now.

40goingnorth.bsky.social•30 days ago

The people of the GREAT state of Louisiana should stop voting against their own best interest, it's the definition of insanity!

lovetoken.bsky.social•30 days ago

Decades of gerrymandering and voter suppression have effed that up. Finally a recent correction to that got Cleo Fields-D elected in a new district last year. Many who would have voted for Harris-Walz didn’t vote. The Democratic Party in La is a joke. Don’t blame the people, blame the system.

40goingnorth.bsky.social•30 days ago

Isn't it possible we can blame BOTH?!

lovetoken.bsky.social•30 days ago

Blame MAGA voters. NOT those who have their votes, and voices suppressed. They are victims of years of enslavement, poverty, racism, poor education (result of Republicans), gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc. Your blanket assumptions are offensive.

40goingnorth.bsky.social•30 days ago

The MAGA voters are exactly who I was referring to! My reference to Trump should've tipped you off.

lei304.bsky.social•30 days ago

I think it's more insidious than that as they're like frogs in a pot on a slow boil. The medium of warm water, in this case insulating or encapsulating the state in a bubble of ignorance & deciet. From no internet to Clearwater, to SB Evangelization coordinated by elements of the former confederacy.

40goingnorth.bsky.social•30 days ago

I understand, but at some point they should figure out that they're being lied to, especially if the people they're voting for continue to break promises. Sadly, I think a lot of people vote because the people they vote for hate the same people they do. Trump has figured this out.

lei304.bsky.social•29 days ago

Promises are only comfort for fools. Biden pierced that bubble by providing internet infrastructure that would or should have started that evolution. I guess that has now been stymied if not destroyed.

jonesmurphy.bsky.social•30 days ago

Louisiana, intellectual headquarters of the GOP and the vast majority of white Americans ever since Civil Rights.

princearrowheart.bsky.social•30 days ago

Let’s put these representatives and senators on blast. Their states are hurting and they act holier than thou about everything.

chepesss.bsky.social•30 days ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

kward6.bsky.social•30 days ago

Hey Joy, where are the democrats?
Left us to suffer at the hand of this man’s control?
Biden?
Harris?
Clinton’s?
Anyone?
Media bowed down to him
Scared to lose a few viewers?

Now we are left to fight for ourselves? After all we did to get Harris in office
No recount?
No investigation?

firemanswife.bsky.social•30 days ago

Hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy, do I need to say more.

dizavid.bsky.social•30 days ago

As someone living in Louisiana, can confirm. It spreads to the people, too. Miserable conditions makes miserable people...which makes them easily indoctrinated to things like fascism. None of this is accidental. Everything is eventual, as Stephen King said, and everything is intentional in this case

acg3884-97c.bsky.social•29 days ago

And just wait until the Federal income tax is abolished and no money comes in from Trumps tariffs. It’s going to be an even bigger shit hole along with every other red state because with the exception of Texas they take more federal money than they put into the system.

christyclark.bsky.social•30 days ago

Grew up there and lived there until I was thirty. Family is still there. This tracks.

cloudcityrockers.bsky.social•30 days ago

Louisiana is a terrible place to live b/c it is run by racist, mysoginist wealthy Republicans and their racist, hateful, ignorant white trash pawns. It’s also tertible b/c Dems are feckless pussy wimps. Start woopin’ the Right’s ass, lLefties, or STFU.

watson6728.bsky.social•30 days ago

New Orleans is a shit hole & Louisiana is a shit hole. And I live in Missouri which is trying its best to be a shit hole. And making great strides.

bardivarius.bsky.social•30 days ago

Could this be part of the reason? Send a Message

hanoiski8.bsky.social•30 days ago

Sounds a lot like McConnell’s state of Kentucky and a lot of other red states. GOP are absolute shit at their jobs, yet somehow keep getting elected.

zgwarnki.bsky.social•30 days ago

Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!

rikirara.bsky.social•30 days ago

Red city red state, right? Just checking.

mlorette.bsky.social•30 days ago

he may not even be a human...

drewtcorbin.bsky.social•30 days ago

Along with other GOP red states...rich blue states should stop funding them.

captainswallow.com•30 days ago

Ye can 'gar-on-tee' neither Johnson or Landry have ever seen most of the state outside of their mansions, camps and golf courses (and maybe the Stooperdome). Never further south than New Siberia.

mamiam13.bsky.social•30 days ago

FAFO

cdeby.bsky.social•30 days ago

It says a lot about the Republican party when he was the only one who could get elected speaker of the house.

bradykenda.bsky.social•30 days ago

Wonder how they are going to like SNAP being cut?

mellomsw.bsky.social•30 days ago

“But the Democrats….” Yeah, right.

ihndai85.bsky.social•30 days ago

Where my taxes go to from our blue state

mjshanklin.bsky.social•30 days ago

But Louisiana does have fertile farm ground and a lot of wage slaves. Farmers need to realize that the land grab is next. When Big Govt. quits giving them free $, taxes go up, they can't afford to pay them, land gets grabbed. Big farms with serfs and slaves. Just what the oligarchy wants. Just wait.

ldotmarie.bsky.social•30 days ago

As Louisianan.... WE NEVER SUPPORTED OUR WANTED MIKE JOHNSON as a New Orleanian fuck this whole state, our city is the only capital this state has yet we get treated like the stepchild!!! And for good measure FUCK JEFF LANDRY too!!

southerngirlraven7.bsky.social•30 days ago

He visited my hometown of only a couples thousand people the week of the election to give his ‘drill baby drill’ and ‘put god first’ speech, because one of the country’s biggest pipeline businesses is based here.

He sided with big oil over his own parents.

How many leaves on the ground do THEY have??? Hmm?

mschurchlady.bsky.social•30 days ago

WOW!!!Did not know that😟

phillyballer.bsky.social•30 days ago

If it wasn’t for Nola … don’t forget about John Kennedy

sisterala.bsky.social•30 days ago

I AM NOT SURPRISED!

liberalbeth.bsky.social•30 days ago

And now they’re losing snap benefits… Good job to the worst state in everything always staying the course and voting republican 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄. When will people decide to look deeper at the barriers that hold them back…
