20 minute old account and posting abrasive things. Goes together like peanut butter and jelly.
Yep. Instant block for me :)
You’re encouraging prejudice through overgeneralization.
While there may be more Christians than other places, it is not the case that “people are Christian”. And Georgia, at least, votes 50/50 Democrat/republican (and 62% D last Tuesday).
Georgia also, famously, gerimandered to hell and disenfranchises minority and poor voters. In a fair election, that state is blue. No contest.
Way to stereotype.
I mean, it’s not a stereotype if it’s mostly true.
The deep south.
Thank you. I live here and the part that offends me is he called it the southern United States, like the southern United States doesn’t go all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
Call it the southeast, call it the deep south, hell even just call it the south. But the southern United States ain’t what’s circled there.
Also, why does The South have the worst people in so many countries?

I find this to be mostly untrue. I run into less horrible people per capita here than the other areas I’ve lived and traveled in(excluding Louisiana; they are their own brand of “fuck you.”)
Everybody getting mad at OP, but I find the post reasonably accurate. Lived here all my life except a few years in Colorado around 1982-85 or so. I’ve lived in most of the circled states. These people are Trump lovers and Christians… for the most part. I raised a mid-sized family here and we’re all atheist Trump haters (that vote!), so I am more than aware #NotAllSoutherners!
But I was referring to what’s in their heart, not how polite they are when I was referring to “the worst people”. It shows up when we vote.
If i had to guess Remnants of racisim from the civil war. This became their identity and it makes them feel welcomed and normal.
Keep in mind this is not a southern problem. Ppl with confederate flags are all over the country. I remember a conversation with a colleague where he heard old ppl cursing Lincoln in a Walmart at 7 am. Another told me he sees rebel flags all over rural areas regularly. None of these ppl work fromer rebel states.
Oh, I know why it’s so bad down here. I was just sort of wondering why places like Italy and Germany (and some others too, I forget tho) also have folks that are more rightwing, poorer, and less educated than those up north.
Oops… places like southern Italy and Germany.
Oh probably cause they accept them for who they are. Like convince someone down on their luck or has a flaw its not their fault they are normal but someone else fault and you get them on your side. I see with with father, my FIL and brother.
My father could not be any better than he was because he was barely smarter than a Labrador. He did nothing to improve/save himself and demanded forgiveness for his faults. So he went ring wing cause they blamed someone he wasn’t for being stuck in world.
FiL is make it big man. 10 failed businesses and 4 marriages later, its not him its God testing his faith like Job in bible. Also right wing.
My brother insanely intelligent like lex luthor. learns things I struggled undertsand with ease. But lacks persistence and motivation when hitting a road block. So he fails at everything. Also right wing with all of his other failed to launch friends.
Its a tragedy that humans unable see a way out are pulled down by other crabs in a bucket and become stuck in a cycle.
