If you made the south the confederacy+ Missouri, Kentucky, and West Virginia, I'd say -.5. It would be close. Yet, I'd say the social score would be about +3. When I say populist, I don't mean nessicarily just economically left, socially right, yet anti-elistist, pro-family values, and common-sense.
Blah blah blah, they hate those hypothetical "liberal elite latte liberals" who are designed to distract them from the curropt right-wingers who control this country and are ing over the poor. What a bunch of morons.
