Oops… places like southern Italy and Germany.

Everybody getting mad at OP, but I find the post reasonably accurate. Lived here all my life except a few years in Colorado around 1982-85 or so. I’ve lived in most of the circled states. These people are Trump lovers and Christians… for the most part. I raised a mid-sized family here and we’re all atheist Trump haters (that vote!), so I am more than aware #NotAllSoutherners!

But I was referring to what’s in their heart, not how polite they are when I was referring to “the worst people”. It shows up when we vote.

Oh, I know why it’s so bad down here. I was just sort of wondering why places like Italy and Germany (and some others too, I forget tho) also have folks that are more rightwing, poorer, and less educated than those up north.

Thank you. I live here and the part that offends me is he called it the southern United States, like the southern United States doesn’t go all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

Call it the southeast, call it the deep south, hell even just call it the south. But the southern United States ain’t what’s circled there.

Also, why does The South have the worst people in so many countries?

You posted this a few seconds before I read it, which means Ding Dong the Dick is Dead likely was playing in both our heads at the same time! I wish it was possible to know many people heard (or sang!) that song just now.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Sometimes something sticks out, like a Chekhov’s gun, and you’re just waiting for it to make it’s way back into the story. Not all of the small details, obviously. But you can pick up some things on a single read through that you expect to come back into play… even if you have a horrible memory.

Neoliberalism is how we got to what is happening right now.

I’m gonna guess… the target is the first guy to crawl out of the water and they’re taking 'em out because it was a mistake to leave the ocean? Of course someone else would’ve come along to evolve towards crab anyway.

The water wetting itself was just a minor distraction, but that dehydrated (sorry, non-wet) water is going to keep me busy for a while trying to remember something I’ve definitely forgotten.

Sitting in my 6’3" husband’s Soul out and about with him right now, read him your comment… “Oh yeah it’s a pain in the ass”.

I’m like… that’s right, Israel didn’t just start their shit in 2023, they’ve been attacking Palestinians and assassinating Israelis who wanted anything else my whole life… but then I kept reading.

Do you know that arson is not the most common cause of house fires among people currently receiving death threats? Because I don’t. Like… it could be, but I wouldn’t presume.

The lefter the better is my motto, but there ain’t always even a democrat running for some offices sometimes. We do the best we can in my house.

Does my voting for Democrats mean I’m now a capitalist like Nancy Pelosi?

He’s trying to force black men out of the military, it’s not like he’s giving fashion tips.

More like, dressed up and called himself a shaman. I don’t know any shaman that dresses like that. Then again, I also don’t know any shamans…

I read it in the tone of a parent when you’re sitting in front of the TV: So you’re done with your chores?

Was coming to post MeFi if wasn’t already here, had to scroll all the down though. Seems fitting seeing your name at the end of a bunch of comments!

Can’t help but wonder if he thought he was avenging Charlie Kirk by killing a bunch of Mormons.
