(16,245 posts)And actually, I'm not so sure about the climate. I hate winter. It is really unfortunate that blue states are mostly either cold and/or rainy. Or too expensive (CA).
The consolation is that there are good places in the south, some of the best in the country, actually. Austin, TX, for one. Asheville, NC for another. New Orleans. Parts of many other cities. But small towns can all go to hell as far as I am concerned. I actually think that the real divide is not North-South, but rural/suburban and urban. Politically, at least.
But then, I have no particular ties to anywhere. My family moved a lot when I was a kid and I move a lot for work. It is inconceivable to me to stay in one place for too long. So I can laugh and make fun of this stupid town because it means literally nothing to me.
I do think, politically, you cannot discount the voter suppression efforts. THAT is a major they send these assholes to Congress. That, and the fact that most people don't vote at all.
