Question for the 'Muricans

[Vampyr]

The downside is if you're born in a state that tends to have radical views it's harder for the federal government to set things right.

Mostly talking about very conservative southern states - how many people are disadvantaged from birth due to outdated views on gender, sex education, and marriage?

I don't think the federal government could fix all these things with the wave of a wand, but it makes things more difficult when the mantra "let the state decide" is so ingrained.
