    Trump’s base is not “southerners.” Trump won a whole bunch of midwestern and mountain states too, and even in the south Harris only lost by single-digit percentages.

    Trying to scapegoat the south while ignoring the fascists in your own state is both bigoted and unhelpful. Do better.

      He won them.

      He didn’t get a ludicrous landslide of violent … who only voted for him out of the desperate hope of getting their Jim crow back, like they’ve been begging for for decades and actually switched parties for the only time since the founding for.

      I know my states, I’m not white and lived in the Midwest, the south, and other places.

      They are not the same, they fought a war for slavery and never forgot it for 1 second.

      The tragedy is their filth is spreading.

      I lived in beautiful Midwestern town. Then nafta came, all the southerners who lost their textile jobs swarmed north, bringing their crime and their drugs. My town was utterly destroyed by them.

      But please, go tell jews ‘hey, you shouldn’t be so hard on literal nazis, be better!’

      And before you say another word, Hitler literally wrote in mein kampf how the south was the model Germany needed to follow, even though at their worst they weren’t even close to as evil, while black GIs came home from liberating Europe, to be lynched for being uppity.

      Our mistake was not giving every slave holder to their slaves, then walking away. We have been paying for that mistake for 160 years. We need a new and brutal reconstruction to finish the job.
