I’d respectfully ask people who feel this way to look at voter participation and the obstacles many southerners still encounter in voting. Trump got 65% of votes cast in Alabama last year, but Trump voters made up just 37% of the state’s adult population.
there’s always a big stupid discourse on this website about how southern states are full of good people and but for the interference of the politicians, they’d all vote the right way, but abbott won by more than ten points in the last election, maybe texas just fucking sucks

49years in the same organization is nuts. I wish he could have gotten a proper send-off at the end of this season. They better put on a heckuva celebration for next year.

A good brief thread.
At times like this I think of a line from a Drive-By Truckers song, substituting the appropriate name/date: "George Wallace died back in 98 and he's in hell now."
That southern Christian conditioning is real hard to beat.

I think a good number of marginalized people expressing sorrow at that man’s death are having a fawning response. That’s because america is their abuser. He was essential to the rapid growth of the alt-right.

Good news, everyone. James Dobson is dead.
If you have no idea who that is, congratulations. If you do know who that is, you probably have complex trauma to be addressed.
Good riddance to a terrible human who had terrible ideas and teachings.
