As I said yesterday: when you write off the South, you're writing off The Black Belt. You're disenfranchising Black voters. The 2nd highest concentration of Black voters is in FLORIDA of all places (My state). A lot of Southern-bashing among liberals is not-so-secretly racist, so keep that in mind - ThreadSky

Anyway, now that a Texan like Al Green has your attention, I need you “Abandon the South” Liberals in particular to eat shit.

And LGBT people too. Highest concentration of us is in Southern states.

As an early organizer for moveon, and fringe green party indp. supporter-- forced into really due to refusal of mainstream democrats to even visit louisiana & mississippi because they were deemed "unwinnable" -- I agree

Classist too. Give them about five minutes and the smart aleck remarks about "trailer trash" and "rednecks" will start flying.

All I can afford is a tiny one-bedroom apartment in a very conservative area of FL where I take care of my mother and live off the income of two low-paying jobs. To a lot of supposed liberals in NYC and CA, *I* deserve bad things to happen to me because of these circumstances. Thanks friends!

I live in a literal double-wide in the literal heart of “Silicon Valley”. Depending on which flavor of those people I’m talking to, there are either elaborate excuses about why “that’s different” or I don’t exist.

So progressive of them to display a total lack of empathy for people in dire straits not of their own making! 🫠

IKR? Like lots of liberals in NYC and CA want me dead even though I'm a fucking librarian whose only crime is living in a state they hate. They're part of the problem and they refuse to admit it

Plus which, they don't care how many Black people live down here, and will choose to bash the South relentlessly, and then turn around and pose as "anti-racists"

It's all very performative til election season when they remember "we're all in this together" as if they weren't treating everyone poor or Black or disabled or trans or in a red state like so much canon fodder five minutes before. We do not lack object permanence! We see and remember.
