Re: Question for people living in the swampy bible belt states

[cbrachyrhynchos]

It's complicated. You have a minority of neo-confederates. You have a larger minority that's the MLK South (a majority in the city I live in). And you have a large chunk of people in the middle. Republicans have been successful at gaming the statehouses and gerrymandering the local districts around white-flight suburbs. But that's happened in some northern states as well.

But first of all, the rest of the country has its own sins to bear regarding homophobia. Anyone else remember that Obergefell challenged an amendment passed by popular vote in California? Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland invented economic segregation and redlining black neighborhoods. Sundown towns are living memory for this yankee.

And secondly, the Civil War was a dumb fucking idea the first time around. Today? The Armed Forces are a professional organization with a centralized chain of command and reasonably high mobility. The economy is driven by national and multinational organizations and high interdependence. Neoconfederates can barely be considered "radical." Most are lard-ass exurbans who think that subscribing to a country radio station in their SUVs makes them a country boy.

Everywhere in the United States has a plethora of sins but I'm kinda uncomfortable with pointing that out in a way that de-emphasizes the reality of institutionalized bigotry and bad government and the real structural problems in many states in the South and certain other states (like Indiana). There are bigots everywhere but if you compare the government and politics of California to the government of Mississippi there's a qualitative difference there. I don't think it's necessarily a Southernness thing but it exists.
