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.
