Well-I’m thinking of all the people I have ever met from the south and who (politics aside) positively revere their Civil War heroes.
Almost a religion with those guys
We currently live in Natchez.
We are in Adams County which is predominately Black and Democrat and getting more so every day.. Hillary beat Trump by ten points here. We also have a large Gay / Lesbian population, all Liberals.
Not a problem for anyone since most People are Live and Let Live, unlike the typical Northern Liberals Agree with me or Die belief system.
Nobody runs as a Republican. You won’t have a chance. They run as “Conservative” Democrats or Independents.
There is no rallying cry about Confederate Statues for or against since nobody has tried to pull any down here. The local Cemetery is full of Confederate Graves with Confederate Battle Flags flying above them.
We’ll see what happens if and when those are taken down.
