Great quote about u.s. southerners: book: Hamilton

[lindysalsagal]

As in the American south, an exaggerated sense of romantic honor may have been an unconscious way for slaveholders to flaunt their moral superiority, purge pent-up guilt, and cloak the brutish nature of their trade.

This is some of how 45 stole the presidency: The bigots became rabid after a 2 time eloquent black president. 45 speaks for their resentment. The clinging to bible and guns quote was so true they reacted with trumpism.

1. One can see

That the actual slave owners of that era tried to dress of their barbarity in gentility and culture. Indeed, Gone With the Wind has not aged well as it tends to take that view of the war time South.

It is a great deal less clear why a bunch of modern day wannabees think they bask in that glory despite all evidence to the contrary.

2. So what do you have to say about all the other (non-southern) states who voted for this cretin?

Every single day, I read on du about racist episodes in CA, OR, PA, IL, OH....PA especially seems to be very well represented on the racist front.

Where do YOU live? I remember you posting something about some women you worked with who were tRumpers. You were very condescending in that post; I guess they got the last laugh huh?

So take your south bashing elsewhere. It was not just the south that brought this disaster upon us.

3. The electoral college gives more weight to southern votes.

If it weren't such a solid red belt, the other states might not have tipped it for 45.

Also, it might be possible that other trumpers feel as they do.
