I was born and raised in Central Illinois. You know, the Land of Lincoln. The dude that freed the slaves. I moved to South Louisiana 25 years ago. Louisiana, a slave state where plantations surround me has nothing on the racist I encountered in Illinois. You get outside Chicago and they are full bore Maga. My family included.
I know the Maga crowd are the minority of the country, but holy shit it feels like they're everywhere.
My home town outside Pittsburgh turned into a raging shithole full of the most ignorant, bigoted people.
Ah New York,
never changeplease change.“You know this state fought for the union, right ? 😳”
"It's muh heritage"
"Jim, we fought for the Union. We weren't even a border state."
In Florida, it's the other way around. The more south you go, the more northern things get. Until go you get to Miami anyway, that's a whole other world.
earth is round
One of my neighbors in Rhode Island flies a Confederate flag, the first national flag, not the battle flag.
Rural NY is that far right.
Whenever I see a house flying the flag of losers in a Union state I imagine they're all fucking their moms while listening to Johnny Mathis.
