    I don’t live in the Bible Belt part and I agree with your views but there are more good people in the South than you’d think. It’s not like any party wins 99% to 1%. In New Orleans, I consider us more Caribbean than Southern. South Florida too. Everywhere is complex.

      In the Midwest, there were also bad people.

      But the good people ALWAYS stood up to them, or at least mostly didn’t tolerate them.

      The south tolerates scum in ways nowhere else really does that I’ve seen.

      I’ll give you those points, and there were many good people in the south.

      But the people who rule the south are so unimaginably corrupt and use the evil to cover it. They’re using bigotry and hatred as a weapon for their economic purposes and that’s a big problem.

        And one day we’ll have democracy in the South. I have no intention of defending the South. But get you a copy of an old Green Book or ask black people about Boston. There are racists everywhere. There were sundown towns in Oregon. Idaho is still like 30% white supremacists. C’oeur D’alene harassed Utah’s women’s basketball team last year.
