Good thing Trump won.

Or else Texas and Florida had a decision to make. And looks like we would've had plenty of supporters.

I had no idea that Alabama had 1 million more people than Oklahoma. Where are the big cities at in Bama? Oklahoma has OKC and Tulsa.

Is Louisiana really that shitty aside from just being poor? The whole bayou thing seems kinda neat and Nola had potential before settling on being the south’s capital for drunken debauchery

Please.

You have no idea what "new arrivals" means until you live in metro ATL. I have 3 Ohio State neighbors,2 Michigan neighbors and another 2 from Penn State.


Atlanta reached full capacity 20 years ago but they still keep rolling in.

You have no idea until you set foot in Florida. 70% of the state are people that moved here in the last decade.

The fastest growing states=bucktard invasion.

I'll take "I'd rather eat my own dick" for 500, Alex.

Edit: It's kind of funny that we're doing the opposite.

That South Carolina flag is badass. It rivals Maryland's flag. I've never seen it. What's its backstory? I'm genuinely curious...

Great news for lsu fans. They can pivot to their “nfl players per capita” talking point again all offseason and next October when the playoffs are out of reach

The spill over from Charlotte into fort
Mill, rock hill, and Indian land is absurd.

I get it Johnny and I'll be part of the 70% in about a year

I'm just saying it's a little more condensed in Atlanta
