It’s not that I don’t recognize there are good people there worthy of assistance. It’s that I doubt our ability to help them. The fascist powers there are too entrenched to uproot. We need to focus on the places the battle is winnable first. Then if we succeed we can turn to the South.

My neighborhood is better because it has Pride flags instead of rebel flags and BLM chapters instead of Klan chapters.

Well ackhshually - a neighbourhood with wood fired pizza & craft beers is definitely better in my book than one without. It's just quality of life innit ?

As long as the people in charge of those states continue to implement regressive policies - including voter disenfranchisement - yes, I will write them off.

Once the people in charge of those states either do a complete 180 (ha, right), or are removed from any position of power (by any means) and replaced with progressives, then we can talk.

Like they don't have brick oven pizzas and craft breweries in the South.

I'm in Atlanta.

Ima be real not that many people in the south fight any of the policies, most peoole here don't give a shit or make excuses for why the policies aren't actually that bad. Plus the truth is people do vote for this shit, look at kerville in tx they denied help from the federal government cause it was woke and all that now they are suffering the consequences. Of course not every person in the south is some far right nuthead but ima be real they are the majority hence why it is the way it is here.

I have to protect my own state from red states, and help you idiots out too? Nah fuck you we are no longer in this together

Fuck the south

Lol somebody’s man. This reads like a low-effort version of Sweet Home Alabama, a song written because Neil Young’s Southern Man dared to politely ask the souther states to be better during a time of bonkers racism.

As others have said, it’s not the fucking pizza and you know it.
