Those southern conservatives sure won't be laughing anymore when the climate catastrophe forces them to leave their beloved red state echo chambers (lemmy.world)

Ever notice how the reddest states are also the southernmost?

I grew up in the south Louisiana to be specific. The confederate flag was not as ubiquitous as some seem to believe. Sure you would some times see a redneck driving a lifted truck with a confederate bumper sticker but it wasn’t the norm. Truck nuts and american flags were way more popular. But rednecks don’t make up a majority of the south.

Hell I saw a confederate flag sticker on the back window of a truck in California recently, sure its in the rural parts but its the first time I had seen one in real life in a long while. And we visit family in two Louisiana cities every year.

The south doesn’t own racism as a concept its a stereotype.
