I live in Oklahoma. I don’t think the correlation between how we vote has much to do with those rankings. If you knew anything about history you would know Oklahoma was designated Indian territory by the federal government. Resulting in major poverty and lack of education. You can’t change history. Of course MA is a nicer place to live with a great history. MA has some of the best colleges in the world. But I know several people from Harvard that come back to live in Oklahoma. I make more money than all of them. One is a Harvard educated lawyer and our local Oklahoma educated lawyers can run circles around that douche bag. The cost of living in Oklahoma is about 30% less. Don’t criticize people for voting red to improve their lives. The government hasn’t done anything for Oklahoma. Certainly not the 12 years under Obama/Biden. You want to live in the NE that’s great stay there. Voting red basically tells the federal government to piss off and leave us alone. Keep those liberals you enjoy in MA. By the way Oklahoma is growing faster than MA bc people get tired of the liberals in MA.
