The leak of war planning texts this week shows the vice president is consistent in both public and private about his feelings on the European alliance.
Makes me laugh when I see the confederate flag in Pennsylvania, considering the Confederates invaded PA. Gettysburg is right fucking there and yet some still think it’s some cool rebel flag. Idiots.
The North-South divide transformed into a rural-urban divide over the course of the 20th century, especially following the Civil Rights & Voting Rights Acts of 1964, and the subsequent Southern Strategy employed by the Nixon (and subsequent Republican) campaigns. The strategy appealed to southern whites, as well as whites in suburbia and rural communities, which a lot of the Midwest and heartland states are. On top of that, add-on the collapse of Midwestern industry, with the capitol flight being blamed on Democrat policy, and you get a severe cultural shift towards neo-Confederate sympathy.
Edit: I could’ve added a bunch more about the media industry, especially Fox and right-wing talk radio, but I can only waste time in the bathroom at work for so long before the boss notices.
Edit 2: fuck shit fuck also the Democrats sucked ass for a long time and culturally associated themselves with cultured, cosmopolitan urbanites, dropping the old-school working class blue-dog persona they had during the New Deal.
I can get being anti dem. I just don’t get why they waving flag of slavers in northern states when their ancestors were immigrants after civil war or fought for north. Its the same energy as nazi flag in homes were grandpa killed nazis. Like wtf? Isn’t the GOP/maga flag enough?
He is from the Cincinnati area, which borders Kentucky, and he spent some of his youth in Kentucky. Not a proper southerner, but from the gradient where North becomes South.
JD Vance is from Ohio, he’s not a Southern.
I know several people who never crossed mason dixine line with southern accents and confederate flags. Like live we near candian border. Wtf?

I live in Canada and have seen the Confederate flag greater than 0 times in Alberta. It’s odd.
