      I agree.

      But that’s vastly better.

      The deep, DEEP seated racial hatred of the south is a terrifying thing and is something that has lasted literal centuries, they switched parties over that.

      The Midwest at least has some hope.

        idk how bad the south is, i’ve never been around that area of the US, just don’t know anybody down there, or really have a reason to go there anyway. But i don’t think it’s irreversible, i’m sure there are problematic areas, as there are in any area, but idk what the whole of it looks like.

          I think you might be wrong.

          They switched parties after they’d been with democrats since the founding, because democrats started supporting civil rights.

          Its just baked so deep for them.
