I thought that's the people in Alabama? Louisiannna are the swamp people no?
There's plenty of overlap.
To be fair Louisiana can't do much more than alternate between crying and sticking its head in the sand. Unfortunately it is the state where a whole lot of oil refineries and disgusting chemical plants have set up shop and that has just locked the state into a death spiral politically. Louisiana is absolutely FUCKED though from climate change and I think you have to see the batshit crazy behavior of people there from that context. Climate Change is going to demolish the lives of people who live in Louisiana (actually by the numbers it is going to somehow be FAR worse than Florida) and no matter how much denial you are in about Climate Change the fear will keep seeping into these people's psyches no matter what, like rising flood waters slipping between the cracks of buildings....
It is useless to try to understand why the ideological contagions of religious fundamentalism and conservatism are so widespread in Louisiana outside the context of the state being a trashcan for the entire US oil and chemical industrial complex. This kind of suffering, ideological dissonance with basic aspects of reality and obsession with issues that are massive distractions from unfolding mass scale health catastrophes (like healthcare being an utterly failed system in the US or rent being completely unaffordable) are a fundamental requirement for petroleum and chemical companies to maintain their incredibly destructive existence, otherwise they would be shut down almost immediately by angry masses of citizens.

On the one hand, you have the anti-science, anti-reason, bible-thumping retrograde assholes.
On the other, you can bet that these same bible-thumping assholes break many of the very same ten commandments on a regular basis.
Finally, they could have posted something from the Gospels, from the lips of Jesus himself such as "love thy neighbor" and "turn the other cheek", but noooo...
Based.
…in hatred, yes.
These are good commandments. Nothing hateful about them
What is good about them?
The first four require you to worship a specific god of a specific religion in a specific way.
The fifth says you should let your father rape you.
The sixth says you can't defend yourself.
The seventh says you and your partner can't be poly even if everyone is into it.
The eighth says you should let your family starve to death.
The ninth says you should tell the truth if you're asked if your neighbor is harboring runaway slaves.
The tenth is literally impossible. Everyone, even Elon Musk, covets something.
