So you mean Mississippi, because Mississippi is the answer. And that isn't a knock, I've been to and lived in both states and I like them both.

The northern part of the state and east Texas are pretty much the same.

There is no other comparable state because no other state has an Alexandria

Meh barely. Geographically it for sure changes on the delta but culturally- Monroe/WM, Rustin, Shreveport, Alexandria are very culturally similiar and very similar to Longview, Tyler, Luking Nachodoches. Especially more so than Jackson.

Definitely South Carolina. The hills are larger in the upstate area of SC. But the state looks the same.

I guess it’s a gray area, but New Orleans and Baton Rouge have a lot of Cajuns and Cajun culture in them. Especially New Orleans.

New Orleans is faux Cajun imo. Mostly black creole.
The last Real Cajun country is south of hwy 90 with a few pockets elsewhere but I wouldn’t view Nola as remotely Cajun

Born and raised here. The only people that think Shreveport is southern Arkansas are all south of I10 and don't know what they're talking about.

None. Y'all are unique. Don't ever let that change.
I'd say Mississippi and Alabama are the closest. The northern parts of each aren't that different from northern LA, though north Alabama starts to take on an Appalachian flavor.
Alabama has a smidgen of the French/Acadian influence along the coast and in Marengo county, where some of Napoleon's officers landed, and the 2nd largest river delta area in the country.

New Mexico believe it or not. The two are very similar in all the good and bad ways.

East Texas, for sure. Jefferson and Orange Counties in Southeast Texas are basically an extension of Acadiana
That’s odd considering Acadiana ends before you reach Calcasieu Parish. Now had you said, Jefferson and Orange are an extension of calcasieu and Cameron I would agree. There’s definitely a heavy Cajun influence but it’s still 50/50 at best when it comes to Cajuns to rednecks.
Nonetheless it’s more Cajun than any other part of Texas.

Kentucky summers were very Louisiana-esque

There’s prairie Cajun then there’s bayou Cajun. Both are Cajun for sure but have distinct differences mainly in cuisine.
Ville Platte is extremely Cajun and it’s well north of Hwy 90 and even I-10.

It’s Maine.

Left leaning South?
I guess the dozen Trump Vance billboards I saw between br and Beaumont along I-10 weren’t real.

Don’t play dumb. I’m talking about the democratic population centers and college areas.

Wisconsin has some interesting cultural similarities due to French colonial influence.

Lafayette is about as red as it gets. BR is blue but it’s not a dark solid blue. The surrounding areas near BR are dark red. Hammond is definitely red.
Nola is blue but like BR is very red all around it.
I don’t see what you are getting at. Sure it’s not dark red like rural north Louisiana but overall South Louisiana is RED
