For those here that regularly defend The South
as not a bastion of ignorance and racism.
Look who the next Senator from Alabama will be.
To bad we all suffer because of how the South votes.
The primitive reactions however surprise:

1. Glad I don't live in the "south" anymore as I don't need to scrub off the slather of
complicity you applied with that broad brush.
And guess who comes to mind, although inaccurately:

25. Thanks, Purveyor. We followed our son to the South and resent that stupid brush.
More than resent, we are disturbed by bigoted attitudes displayed here that would be more appropriate over at the Cave.
Edhopper, if you don't like those who elected that despicable, corrupt, religious conservative right-winger, join us in blaming those who did. Division works for our enemies. I suggest you consider whether your behavior could help them.
Proud liberal in the south.

2. What simplistic thinking
You do realize that there are lots of people in Alabama who won't vote for this guy right? That writing off an entire state or region because they may vote for a crappy person today is silly. Should we write off California because they voted for Nixon and Reagan? Or should we accept that things can change?
I wouldn't write off Texas because W lives there. Because so did Molly Ivins, so did Ann Richards. There are good and bad people everywhere.

4. When a state prefers an open bigot twice removed from his previous job, then yeah, write it off.
No reasonably informed voter should ever cast a ballot for Moore yet he will likely win in December by 20 points. That speaks loudly to the tribalism and ignorance of the state. Yes, there are some good people in the state but they are vastly outnumbered by the others who are hell bent on tarnishing the state's and its people's reputation.

95. Lots of bigotry on DU today
Lots of broad brushes

So DU-folk would only write off the 55% or 60% of Southerners who voted for Trump, not all Southerners? How magnanimous!

Maybe we should write off Moonbeam Kalifornication because of this:

Flashback: Jerry Brown, Biden and other Dems refused to accept Vietnamese refugees
By World Tribune on January 30, 2017
by WorldTribune Staff, January 30, 2017
Some liberal Democrats are fighting back tears when discussing President Donald Trump’s travel ban on Muslims from seven nations.
But in 1975, leftist Dems went to great lengths to keep Vietnamese refugees (even orphans) out of the United States.
Oh snap.

Since I'm a fictional spirit-guide and my job is to help and to guide AND since I'm from the south let me give you some info about the south. For the most part we say "sir" and "ma'am" to our elders (and some who are not) regardless of their color. We hold doors open for people (both male and female) regardless of their color.
If you break down on the side of the road (regardless of your color and regardless of whether it is day or night) and someone pulls up behind you in a pick-up truck (even someone with a Confederate Battle Flag sticker on said truck), more likely than not you are fixin' to (another phrase we often say) be helped by someone who is going to be nice and mannerly.
Now is your chance to help me. If I were to break down near Washington Park in Chicago what would more than likely happen?

Depends on whether your magazines are National Geographic or something more appropriate to the situation.

Yeah--Federal HSTs would probably be the way to go there. :whistling:

The South must matter to the libs who suddenly speak with southern-accents for some reason.
" Dey goan put ch'yall back in chains... " etc.
You won't hear Southern Repubs saying: " Ayuh, ya cahn't get theya from Lobstah Hahbah, " when they're in New England.
