Reject -- FIRMLY reject -- the idea that the insurgents fighting this coup are "regular rural Americans." They are Nazi white supremacists. I live in rural South Carolina, and the guy who came to fix my Internet cables chatted with me about critical race theory.

I am old enough to remember the Nazis planning to march in Skokie, Illinois (a Chicago suburb, certainly not rural)

The local KKK chapter showed up to an anti-immigrant protest in my childhood hometown. In Southern California. In the early 2000-aughts.

Honestly? We redraw district lines. The actual white supremacists have done a REALLY good job of coloring in areas where people benefit from white supremacy and saying "This is my district!" I am also open to persuasion toward "prosecute hate speech" and "just start over."

Exactly, one of the biggest issues with the 'South is racist, homophobic, etc.' is that it ignores 1) how much corruption we deal with, normal people are being suppressed while the extremist Nazi's get to push their agenda.
-
2)It ignores that all of these issues exist elsewhere, just we can't win our control back from the extremists because it's stacked against us. 3)The South actually tends to have higher rates of minorities, but those minorities get their voices forcibly silenced.
