They are talking about striking in the national media, a conversation started by an Alexander-Hamilton-moderate-conservative. This is it, it has hit the mainstream media and word is getting out to the people that aren’t necessarily in the 50501, and like organizations, loop.

    Midwest is ABSOLUTELY not about hate.

    They just want to be left the fuck alone.

    Southwest wants them gone.

    The south wants Jim crow back, where they can beat, torture and kill brown people with impunity.

    Not that they can’t do that now, law enforcement sure won’t look closely.

      You mean they don’t want to deal with the social issues the costal cities have dealt with.

        No, they don’t.

        They want to keep things as they are, and I think they should be allowed to within some restricted parameters.

        If they were racist it would be one thing, but they generally aren’t, not are they significantly homophobic, they just want everyone to stfu and sit the fuck down.

        The south, BTW, is INSANELY homophobic, still. Homosexuality is still a sin against God and while the risk of violence has decreased (in the 90s gay people were considered outside of the protection of the law, so if you beat one up, wellx shit happens, now you just tell the same jokes).

        Never compare the Midwest and the south. One is just a bunch of people trying to be left alone and get by.

        The other are literally the ones who Hitler cited in main kampf as the model Germany must follow, and where the Nuremberg Laws came from.

        They’re genuine monsters ,the kind of people Americans used to claim to fight, and they will drag us back to their level because they’re cheap, stupid votes.

        When they start the next civil war (and they will, it’s in their nature, you keep taking until you’re stopped, that’s the definition of strength), then we can finally fix this centuries long open wound that has been a cancer on this country.

        Edit: forgot their rampant misogyny.

          Never compare the Midwest and the south.

            Fine.

            One fought for slavery, one didn’t.

            One had Jim crow, one didn’t.

            One was called a model for Germany to follow and was where the Nuremberg Laws were copied from and one wasn’t.

            One is absolutely and irredeemably evil, and one isn’t.

            Easy comparison.
