Do a majority of our red avatars hate Southerners?

[TNF]

Obviously.

[Potatoe]

I'd love to press no, but I just can't, for some reason, some members think that every state in the south=Hickville, which is just stupid.

[H. Ross Peron]

I don't (Not a bigot)

[RedSLC]

I don't (Not a bigot)

You see, as enlightened progressives, they are more intelligent than the average working man who votes against his own interests and needs the educated to guide his life for him. Duh.

If this isn't sarcasm, that's pretty mean to people, not every Democrat hates the South.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Some do, but I certainly don't.

I assume this is because of this:

The average IQ of the United States would increase by several points.

Porous borders for the first few years could solve that problem. Also send the wingnuts from the North down there.

What would be left of America would be an infinitely better place.

I'm not going to defend the Mordecai or IceSpear quotes, but Antonio is right to a certain extent- the remaining US would probably have more protections for workers, a higher HDI, etc. and so could probably be referred to as "better".

Relevant:

'The South' is a broad term.  No, I don't think a majority of red avatars hate every state that's in the South.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Most are also racist against blacks.

The amount of Democrats that hate the wealthy> the amount of Democrats that hate Southerners

It's pretty hilarious you're outraged by this when you consistently post that being a Republican or rich automatically makes you a HP.

I don't think I ever said Republican specifically. I have always gone with "Republican officeholder = HP" which I think is infinitely reasonable.

A position shared by most of the Democrats here who hate the South, by the way.

So if a Republican you don't think is a HP ran for office, they'd automatically become one?

Obviously, because all politicians are terrible.

I would apply the same logic to something like 95 percent of Democrats, mind.

The thing is, the context of the topic was about if the South seceeded. I think the hate would be well deserved if this was actually the case.

Besides, if this actually did happen, how is suggesting that Confederate supporting Northerners move South while Union supporting Southerners move North in any way a controversial opinion?

Population exchanges are terrible. And this is not just about another Civil War; look at any thread on any issue involving the South and you will see numerous comments trashing the South for their politics, lifestyle, or culture.

[President Tyrion]

It would be more accurate to say that many of our red avatars wouldn't be comfortable in most rural areas in the United States.

Well, yes, I would certainly have no clue how to live.

Its more true than you think (see: Connecticut).

This thread needs a healthy helping of Mechaman.

Forced relocation of your political opponents is generally frowned upon.

Um, I for one love Southern culture. I eat KFC and Popeye's all time.

Who said anything about force?
