The South isn’t some endless wasteland of hyperconservative hicks. It’s large swathes of marginalized and often very radical people being repressed by far-right States which perpetuate themselves by disenfranchising most of their subjects.

Politics, southern states
@daggers_drawn Remember, reactionaries are a minority, they only seem ubiquitous because the system normalizes them, and they are normalized because people like them are the ones who built the system.
To write off the southern states would be to abandon and throw the marginalized folk who were unfortunate enough to be born into those neighbourhoods under the bus.
