Neither place is friendly because there are MAGAs there.

Avoid the south!

No women or POC should voluntarily move to the south or a red state.

again, you know the blackest states are in the south, right?

And how marginalized are they? Are they at the top of their professions? No. Bc the south is the south.

It’s not the 1800s anymore, you know. Things have changed a little bit.

I have also heard similar things from people who were acquainted with southerners. It’s a widespread sentiment in the south. The common theme seems to be a breakdown of society will be the event that triggers it because with local law enforcement overwhelmed with civil unrest these people will be free to murder their neighbors without police being able to intervene. There is no way I would ever live in the south. They absolutely are planning on killing people they think are Progressive.

Wow y'all are nuts

Really? Only if you believe “nuts” is a synonym of “informed”. Because I’m definitely informed. Southerners plan on killing their progressive neighbors from northern states as soon as they think they can get away with it. This is a widespread cultural phenomenon, found all over the south. Why do you find it so hard to believe?

You are kookoo. I hope you don’t say this kind of nonsense out loud and in real life. If so then I can assure you that the people you say this to think you are nuts, lady.

Women and POC often move to the south because of the increased economic/career opportunities and growth. Plenty of women and POC are thriving and very happy and prosperous living in the south.

You are projecting your own insecurities. Greenville is deeply religious compared to the DC metro.

The entire south is flyover country.

And yet the south is a faster growing and more prosperous region than DC, more people and more companies want to move to the south. People love the south, including OP.

It’s only growing faster because of immigration. Cleetus and Earline the slackjawed yokel trump supporters aren’t having kids anymore and the ones they did have all OD’d on fentanyl and died, thankfully. The south is growing because brown people who speak Spanish are moving in and replacing the white rednecks. But it takes time, probably another 20 years, before the south has enough of the white trash replaced by immigrants before it becomes truly safe. I can’t wait that long. I’m retiring in California.

You are weird and also clueless. People on both political sides in the south tend to be armed and have no problem exercising their right to self defense.

You need to get out of the self-limiting bubble you live in, you sound so unhinged. I worry for your children.

Who cares? One less loony to worry about, LOL. Bye!

You either are a Bible thumper or have not lived among people that think an appropriate tip for a waitress working the Sunday lunch shift is a card with a message that if you attended their church you could be getting saved instead of working on a Sunday.

That sort of attitude definitely flows over into daily life.

Knoxville (especially downtown) known as the “scruffy” city. Google it.

DP, but I'd like a link to a story or something and not just a reference to The Purge.

Anyone who describes southerners with terms like "Cleetus" and "Earline" should be very happy in California. (Btw, the name "Earline" is mist definitely not confined to the group you think it is.)

Neither place is friendly because there are MAGAs there.

Avoid the south!

No women or POC should voluntarily move to the south or a red state.

Why not?

Turn them purple/blue!

Bc they will either die if they need an abortion, or die bc they are POC

+1 Some of these folks reside in very restricted, non-diverse areas.

You can't say that! It goes against the professional victim mentality and everyone who doesnt think like I do is wrong. Of course people like this are the very first to say how accepting open minded and diverse they are. The reality is they're just ignorant snobs.
