What exactly is a Yankee? And please elaborate beyond a liberal-like, hateful, emotional “everyone knows”

[sausageseller]

Typically it is a New Yorker that comes to the south and insists on telling everyone how to do something and how great it is from where they are from.
Typically they were government employees and others that want to escape the high taxholes and bringing their leftist politics with them.

As a native born Floridian , I have seen it over and over and over.

If you embrace any of these ideas and actively vote for them, you are a Yankee:

Guns are evil and should be banned.

Conservative voices should be banned from the public square.

The white patriarchy needs to be destroyed systematically.

Criminals are victims and victims are perpetrators.

If our lunatic approach to fixing a social ill doesn’t work, it’s because we didn’t fund it enough. We need to spend more.

People should give the government half their salary because socialism is a perfectly acceptable form of government.

Free everything, regardless of the actual cost.

We can tax our way to prosperity.

Only certain lives matter...not the inconvenient unborn, the elderly, the frail.

Everything bad in my life is someone else’s fault and they should fix it.

There is more, but you should get the drift.

Yankee is not a locale but a mindset. You can come from anywhere and be a Yankee.

As someone born and raised in NY, I didn’t understand the queasy looks I would get when I first arrived in Texas. Having lived here for almost 30 years, now I’m the one looking at people the same way.
