I wanna coin the term Mississippi self-awareness. I’ve grown up in rural Mississippi, and I credit it for my extremely left leaning political stances. Im surrounded by the awfulness of conservative mindsets. I hear coworkers complaining about fast food workers making too much money, with the knowledge that Mississippi has the highest rate of poverty in the country, and Im seeing why firsthand. The awful state of health, and the constantly espoused home remedies and junk medical advice that their diabetic mama swore by. So much talk about kids not getting hit enough nowadays. The gun worship, the truck worship, the Jesus worship despite not practicing a word of his teachings, yet no one here seems to be aware of the results of all these awful ideas.
