I was a republican until I moved from the Midwest to the south.
They're completely underselling it, the south fought a war against America to keep humans as pets, then after they lost just kept doing it anyway.
Hitler wrote about Jim Crow in Mein Kampf as an example for Germany to follow. Black GIs came home from fighting fascism to be lynched for being uppity, and they still worship their heritage of brutal genocide with nostalgia.
The only thing the south ever, EVER cared about was that at least they were better than black people, they were hardcore socialists Ala Huey Long till LBJ passed civil rights, then they immediately switched to the GOP who welcomed them with open hoods.
Please don't talk about things you haven't experienced first hand, you people have just had the luxury of ignoring them until now.
-- sincerely, a brown person who escaped the south
