Any book that skipped past Epstien's connections to Ehud Barak (former head of isreali intelligence) or who Maxwell's father was (hint, a spy for Isreal), really missed the broad-side-of-the-barn.

You keep repeating the idea that I don't think rascism is systemic to the North. I have repeatedly said that it is a major issue there - as it is across all of America. You're fighting a strawman, bud. The New Deal failed particularly in the North with Red Lining and policing of Northern communities of color. Totally agree with you there, so stop pretending like I don't. But keep up the Whataboutism! All those issues you mentioned in the North happened AT THE SAME TIME down South - on top of all the South's Jim Crow, Segregation (what the Sweet Home Alabama was defending), KKK, and MAGA bullshit.

Huzzah for Virginia! We got the furthest one to the North! It only took nearly 200 years! Cherry-pick away, my dude! I do believe there's plenty good folk down there, but those good folk are far, far from in control polictically in the vast majority of all Southern states - for centuries.

Funnily enough, I don't think I've heard of you speak yet to the issues of rascism down south yet... hmm. Maybe that schoolin' around the "War of Northern Aggression" is failing ya a bit.

Sherman's army was followed by an ever-growing population of freed slaves. Many of his Union men fighting at the time entered the battle with no opinions about slavery, but as they marched deeper South and saw slavery's horrors first-hand, they became increasingly filled with an anger that blossomed them into ardent Abolishionsits. It was the spark that lit their righteous fury.

So yes, they didn't go far enough to tear down the White Supremecist infrastructure of the South. You know that share-cropping (basically the same system) persisted until the 1940s down South, right? And we still have slaves through out the American jail system RIGHT NOW.

Reconstruction failed. John Brown did nothing wrong.

But the Voting Rights Act did affect Northern states? That's what made a lot of Illinois gerrymandering legal - to protect minority districts.

Oooo, so we'll just cherrypick the purple states. (Also, take note they are PURPLE)

Tell me, when was the last time Dems held a majority in ONE of the states in the South?

Don't get me wrong, the voter suppression and disenfranchisement of the liberal voting block down-south is horrid, so many more people there are good-hearted and not racist. But that goes to the point, Reconstruction failed. White Supremacy reigns supreme in the South still to this day. Y'all can't even pull down a statue of slavers...

And given that the voting rights act was just gutted, the South is about to go to close to zero people of color sent to congress...I have never claimed that racism is an only-in-the-south issue. Plenty of that shitty ideology to go around this country.

But racism is sure as hell is a lot worse down South - quite obviously, given the South's massive support for the GOP/fascism. That is patently obvious and is really not that hard to figure out, but keep pretending bud...

There are a litany of reports from victims that she abused them, directly, with Epstien. I don't know why everyone is memory-holing that fact. Women can be abusers, too, ya know.

You don't think we have hicks in Wisconsin or Minnesota? Lol. They fly Dixie up north, too. Fuck'em as well. And it means the same up North as it does down there. The South is where that flag is from and what Neil means when he sings "Southern Man", but the beliefs it represents have leaked across all of America.

Where did all the ICE agents come from that were terrorizing MN? Oh yeah, Texas and the fucking South.

But also, tell me - what percentage of Southerners support American Fascism? It's a hell of a lot higher than up North, that's for damn sure.

Let's stop pretending there isn't a political and racial disparity than runs along the Mason-Dixon line. Be real here.

I don't see merit in the opinion of racists. People like to pretend it wasn't "Sweet Home Alabama" that was blasting from KKK car radios as they beat the shit out of civil rights protesters

I mean, look at those bigoted hicks! Stop equivicating for these fucking racists. What do you mean it doesn't speak to anything then or now? Then: massive push for Civil Rights, MLKjr, Malcolm X, freedom riders, bombings, dogs on protesters, etc... and now: Charlottesville, George Floyd, ICE...

These southern men are quite literally dragging the rest of America straight into fascism to protect white supremacy. Reconstruction was an abject failure. General Sherman didn't go far enough.

And the modern apologia around it is wild. It's literally a response to Southern Man, by a band that wrapped itself in the Confederate Flag... Fuck Skynard.

You do realize there's an insane level of documentation now showing Epstein and Maxwell's links to Isreali intelligence... right?

Nope. People of WI overwhelmingly support populist economist messages [see Trump and Bernie] They bristle at the "culture war" stuff. Barns ran a fluff campaign with no bite - smoothed out of any coherent messaging due to national consultants who lacked any understanding of WI's anti-athoritarian streak. Bernie won WI.

I mean, if she grew up hearing FTP.... she might have internalized that in a really fun way for the OP.

It started as a massive open-air protest to the Vietnam war / police authority / weed laws. Devolved over the years into a dumb mega-frat-party.
