Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There are bigots everywhere.

They aren't LITERALLY THE DOMINANT FOUNDATION OF THE CULTURE ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

It's all the south has and is, it's like their blood and bones, there's nothing else.

Virginia, the forner capital of the confederacy, voted for Harris.

Virginia isn't the south anymore, it's a dem swing state partly dominated by DC.

I'm talking about the deep south TN, AL, MS.

Have you been to the south?

If not, you're just being a bigot yourself trying to scapegoat us to make yourself feel superior.

I unfortunately grew up there for a while, before I managed to escape.

My hatred is very dearly earned.

I too spent some of my childhood in the American South, and also several years in my 40s. My distaste for the South is well informed, and it's my only prejudice that doesn't embarrass me.

There are good people and bad people everywhere, and smart people and stupid people everywhere, but there's a noticeably higher percentage of bad, stupid people in the South.
