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.
Ah New York, ~~never change~~ please change.
“You know this state fought for the union, right ? 😳”
"It's muh heritage"
"Jim, we fought for the Union. We weren't even a border state."
One of my neighbors in Rhode Island flies a Confederate flag, the first national flag, not the battle flag.
In Florida, it's the other way around. The more south you go, the more northern things get. Until go you get to Miami anyway, that's a whole other world.
earth is round
Rural NY is that far right.
Whenever I see a house flying the flag of losers in a Union state I imagine they're all fucking their moms while listening to Johnny Mathis.
