Literally who?
Earth to Joy Reid - the South, once known as “the Confederacy”, has evolved. No longer the home of the Democrat-sponsored KKK (the Democrats have all died or moved to California), the current residents of the southeastern quarter of the territory once known as “the United States of America” are, for the most part, either transplants, or born-again conservatives, an enlightened breed that took to heart the lessons won at so dear a price by those “dead white men” identified as the Founding Fathers of the American Spirit.
The principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence and incorporated in the Constitution of the United States of America, still live there, keeping the faith and the flame alive.
