Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

Not defending it, but I think for them it means pride in their region/area/heritage. And it's not about anything deeper than that. It's like a college sports team for them. Like the rich white fan base for Duke, and UNC being just a couple miles away.
Personally I'd be ashamed of my regional heritage if the only thing that made it different was slavery..
Looking at the south, there's not much else they can be proud of. Mississippi was god's mistake. Luckily its surrounded by other shithole states. It's like having warning signs before you enter a danger zone.
That's quite a bit reductive. We have a lively history of activisim, resistance and rebellion along with the modern cultural influences and destination cities that people flock to far before the fly over states
Half tongue-in-cheek.
Ima be real with ya. I just like dunking on the traitorous bastards. The Mississippi joke is lifted from Chris rock
