Lived in Upstate New York for about a year, went into a diner that did breakfast. They had a Southern Theme to them and tried to play up being "Southern".
I asked if they had grits, and I just got funny looks, was told no one could "eat that shit", and they served "real food"
Then without missing a beat, some guy with a trucker hat and a camoflauge pattern Duck Dynasty shirt gags at the idea of someone ordering grits and then orders a bagel.
It was like I was in the god damn twilight zone.
It was in this moment I suddenly knew what it was like to be a Native American at a Halloween Party and some white guy comes in dressed in warpaint and a headdress saying he's Chief Sitting Bullshit or something.
That town was weird, so many people LARPing being Southerners, even had one guy told me I was crazy for coming up from NC because "Everyone's rich back down there, because in the South ya aint gotta pay taxes!" in the most forced Southern Accent I had ever heard in my life, sounding like Hank Hill if he was drunk and had no sense of serenity. For the record, we aren't rich down south and we sure as hell pay taxes, they just don't go to anything useful.
Upstate New York isn't real, I refuse to believe it is, I spent months in some kind of Yankee-Induced coma.
Shit was so bad I moved to Albany, I'll take real Northerners over fake Southerners anyday. I'm back in NC now, where I can have all the grits I want in a place where there's always Cheerwine to wash it down with.
I can’t tell if you’re pro-South or not. Since you have a choice of what part of the country you live in, I presume you are a southerner at heart. If not I might add that Northern men are inclined to wear panties and makeup. They aren’t real men and their women wear jockstraps. They epitomize the Q in LGBTQ. The men who live in the southern part of the country are down to earth folks with traditional values and an enviable lifestyle. Yankees are shallow, arrogant, condescending, cowards who are generally moral-less liars and seek money over anything else in their empty lives. Try Nehi or Sundrop cola in lieu of Cheerwine it’s easier on the gastrointestinal system.
You just described the guy that the South overwhelmingly voted for. Twice. What does it say about Southern men that this is what they elected to represent them at the highest level of government?
Cuck. That's what it says.
That’s an enormous lie. That either makes you a liar or a brainwashed fool who hasn’t a clue what he’s spewing, The entire nation voted Republican in November. Not just the southern states. It was a Red Flood. You need to get your facts straight. Every single toss up state voted Republican. TDS occludes your thought processes. That’s the reason why the democrat party has a national approval rating below 25%. They have been propagandized by the corrupt corporate media and they are weak-minded enough to believe in those lies and the lies of their cult leaders.
It was 49.8% to 48.3%, with over a third of eligible voters sitting it out. It was a Red Dribble, at best.
The Dems have an abysmal approval rating because they tried to court the right-wing, which cost them most of their left-leaning base. I know you think you had a gotcha moment here, but you aren't talking to a Democrat.
Seriously though, I am just tickled how perfectly you described Trump.
Spot on. I'm stealing this.
Just look at a national map of the counties that voted Republican last November and you will see nothing but red. Twist the truth however you want, the election was a blowout for Trump in the popular vote and the electoral vote. A clear unmistakable mandate by the electorate. Your take on the libtards paying any attention whatsoever to the GOP is laughable. If anything your party hit the gas when they hit the far left wall and kept on cruising. They no more tried to win over the right than the CCP did. Trump is nothing like the yankee leftist socialist democrats. He is clearly rich, an achievement that every single democrat strives for but can only accomplish by fraud, insider trading or deception. Trump earned his fortune. He is a great businessman and real estate developer. You can try to diminish his ingenuity but it’s all just a Bullfuck failed effort.
Rightoid needs colored pictures to understand numbers and still fails. Amazing.
64.1% of eligible voters turned out to vote. Trump got 49.3% of those voters to vote for him. That amounts to about a third of all eligible voters voting for Trump. ONE THIRD is not "the whole country".
It's no wonder you guys want the DOE gone. You need the whole country to be uneducated so your own stupidity looks normal by comparison.
it was actually low turnout. This drivel your spouting is propaganda nonsense. like seriously you don't read party literature critically? Why do you eat the shit off the bottom of their shoe? no one WANTS you to but them.
