    Would a Republican president declare war on the Bible Belt and launch an invasion on his most hardcore supporters?

    Really? What about San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, NYC, San Francisco?

    Almost all of the most attractive/thriving places in the USA are ran by democrats.

    I don’t really like these arguments because each place is different, but if you want to post such a foolish picture then it is fair game.

    You are better than that... put more thought into it.

    Yeah, I’m going to have to disagree whole- heartedly with you on this one. He is not better than that. This is exactly the type of ish he posts on the regular.

    I thought I heard recently that Fort Worth was or is the last one. Democrats run pretty much every major city. For better or worse.

    No need to even respond to this BS. The only people who fall for this stuff are President Dip$hit supporters who are immune to current facts and reality.

    lol at West Virginia being northern. That’s completely on geographic areas concerning that vote.

    An even bigger LOL to anyone that tries to warp their brain to say what this thread is trying to say.

    Yeah spend your time doing that.

    You want to argue history with the author of the tweet? Kevin Kruse is a professor of history at Princeton University, with a Masters and PHD in History from Cornell. He has written numerous books on American history and has a focus on southern United States.

    But getting to your question, Is West Virginia a northern state or a southern state. Depends who you ask (and Robert Byrd is quoted saying its "the most southern northern state and the most northern southern state."). While the state geographically seems to align with the south (Mason Dixon line), culturally the people in West Virginia align more with the northern states, especially people in the Appalachians. And the political power seems to be in the Wheeling and the northern countries where people align more with Ohio and Pennsylvania.

    The history of the state was that it was broken off from the confederate-supporting Virginia by Unionists:

    Someone should post a picture of tumbleweed Alabama/Mississippi/Georgia/Kentucky or any rural place in America in 1919, and then the same place in 2019.

    Conservative policies --- keeping sh1tholes sh1tty since forever!

    Seriously though, blaming the death of the Rustbelt on Democrats is about the porridge brained level of thinking I've come to expect.

    Surely it can't be 1) the decline of coal 2) the rise of international markets and industries 3) the complete automation of manufacturing.

    Nooooooo sir. It's gotta be them DUMB-ocrats AMIRITE?

    I guess we need to scrounge up some photos of a **** town in Kansas and show it as proof that after many decades Republicans are still trying to **** their cousins and dull the pain of their abysmal existence with meth. Derp.

    Relax, this is the reaction he wants. Their whole purpose is to make liberals angry because that's all they have in their small little lives.

    Oh I find it hilarious. We all know that if each state kept their own tax revenue that most if not all Confederate states would die on the vine. Liberals are the only reason most of those states aren't third world.

    Except for Boston, the weather is going to attract people to certain areas.

    So let’s not act like LA and SF don’t have homeless crises. Snapcrap anyone?

    And let’s not act like LA Unified isn’t a god awful school district.

    We’ve also read stories from the NYTimes that NYC public schools are more segregated than those in Mississippi.

    So, yeah, I think the hammer hit the nail on this one.

    Ehh... not really confederate states. States like Texas, Florida and others would do well. It is really rural states like Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana that would fail. I am all for individual and unique culture and character in different regions and states but at some point that handful of states (5-7) needs to at least join the 19th century.

    LOL, my bad, sorry, I didn't mean to be so confrontational, especially on Friday (I try to post lighter stuff on Fridays).
