Add Mississippi to the states that will be eliminating a Democrat held seat now that required racial gerrymandering has been nuked from orbit by the SCOTUS.

The Democrats now have to try to appeal to White Southerners. White Southerners.....who Democrats have poured their vilest hatred on non stop for about the last 35-40 years.

If you think we’ll EVER trust y’all again well.....as we say down here, bless your hearts.....

.....................”..as we say down here, bless your hearts.....”

Lived in the South for a few years. Fondly remember “Bless your heart:”. Thanks for reminder But is it sarcastic? Outliving all my relatives there, so no one to ask. Except you.

Bless Your Heart. I think.

Dear Veto! I'm afraid not. Generally speaking, the Southern expression "Bless your heart" is the refined, gentile way of conveying what a Yankee might phrase as a suggestion to perform a biological impossibility.

It's not just sarcastic, it's downright brutal, especially if said with the friendly, light tone that would normally be used for "Would y'all like some sweet tea?"

LMAO. You Southerners really know how to insult thre rest of us in the nicest possible way. Bless y’alls hearts. Just looked up my Southern cousin online. She was a royal PIA and doesn’t seem to exist now. Too bad, so sad.

District setting should not be left to politicians - of either stripe.

It should be impartial - based on population per seat and geography.

I don’t need a crappy singer like Neil Young around anyhow.

CSN should have kicked him out the door.

True, it certainly could be a sympathy-based statement. When Tennessee Ernie Ford said “Bless his pea-pickin’ heart”, you knew it was meant sarcastically.

These racially mandated districts have given us the unique cast of corrupt, insane, racially divisive radically far left black and “minority” politicians like “The Squad”, Mad Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Jasmine Crockett, Hank “Guam Capsize” Johnson, James Clyburn, Alcee Hastings and the list goes on and on.

This may just force the redistricting in New England where districts are gerrymandered so badly that States with 40+% Republican have zero Republican Reps

“Bless your heart” is still a thing in TN. In TN, it has a down-home ring to it.

In GA, it’s a honey-sweet slow drawl.

Both mean the same thing.

Bless your heart? You mean with a rusty wire brush? Inserted sideways?
