The thread is multiple hours old with a few comments and none of them negative. Then you come along trying to stir up controversy. Why? What kind of victim complex is this?
No victim complex. I hadn’t seen anything here that I found distasteful. I don’t have a problem with the OP either. I said what I meant and nothing more. “I sure hope this thread doesn’t devolve…” doesn’t mean that it has or even that I expect it to. I have seen it before in this community however. Some people build up this idea in their head of the southern states being filled with hateful fascists, and they’re right to a degree. Its also filled with pockets of disenfranchised and oppressed people. Maybe I’m an optimist or idealist, but that’s the view I like to hold. I just like to try pushing the conversation away from attacking southern/rural people who are wholely harmed by the policies of a loud minority of bigots.
