there are a LOT of severely uneducated inbred racist bigots in this country. pretty much anywhere in the south, or any isolated rural area anywhere--that's what it is
My incredibly racist late grandmother asked me in 2020 if I was voting for "the other guy."
"no, i'm voting for trump because he's going to obliterate your medicare"
Don't worry. Her husband died in like 1985, and she lived off his government pension for 35 years.
Not "anywhere in the south" and no I'm not just talking about the cities. One of the blue-est parts of Georgia is the poorest and most rural. Not as blue as Atlanta of course, but still blue
I recommend traveling to the south before making sweeping generalizations. Some of the most extreme views I've encountered in the South I've found in states like Pennsylvania and parts of upstate New York too.
This isn't a geography issue. It's an education and culture issue
