I’m afraid that’s true of the entire US.It has taken me some years of freeping to finally go past my own romanticed view of Republicans, heck just ordinary Americans, as mostly a lot of patriotic self-reliant salt-of-the-earth people, at least when the chips were down. I don’t believe it anymore. I’ve also lost my vestigial view of the South and Southerners as such, in general. We may be more so in voting patterns, relative to other areas, but that’s not saying much anymore, especially considering what Republicans (have ceased to) stand for.

I’m disappointed in you. Makes me think that you’ve given up and become a sheep. God knows that we have a surfeit of hand-wringing wimps here on FR. Tell me that you haven’t abandoned the patriot cause.
Well said. I wonder if it was always the case and we changed or if the country changed?
