GovTrack.usSeeing comments writing off the Deep South bc the commenters don’t like some of the politicians there. These folks should consider that when they do that, they’re making the same mistake that white nationalists do: assuming that the only people who exist and/or matter are white Republicans. There are lots and lots of people in the Deep South who, for a host of historical & intentional reasons, cannot fully participate politically. When you write off their states, you write them off too.
Ijio Nano@GovTrack Latina living in the South here-- I get what you're saying, but the way I see it, the Deep South definitely doesn't include ME in its demographics when it votes Republican and regressive.
I think the way we talk about the South depends on the context and is very nuanced. Even now I don't consider myself a Southerner, even though I've lived in the South my entire life except for my first three years. So when I say "fuck the South", it's not necessarily EVERYONE in it.
