Liberal in the South. Few things. 1. It's beautiful here, you mean paradise? 2. You realize the South is THE gayest part of America, right? One out of three LGBTQ people live here. Congratulations on erasing their existence. Reminder: Matthew Shepherd, the victim of the most famous homophobic hate crime in the country, was in Wyoming. 3. When I think of infamously racist, corrupt police departments, the first ones who come to my mind are Baltimore and Maricopa county, AZ. We by no means have a monopoly on racism down here, not even close. Don't forget, Oregon was literally founded as a whites only state! 4. Regardless of whether you consider the prompt for the #metoo movement to be Weinstein or Bill Cosby, worth mentioning: neither of them are in the South. 5. You wanna know why so many Southern conservatives are all about owning the "liberal elites"? Because bicoastal liberals are often so condescending and disparaging towards Southerners in general that they even leave us liberals in the South and in Appalachia feeling completely alienated, insulted, and resentful a lot of the time. 6. "Educated people" bruh, Vanderbilt is not considered an ivy league solely for reasons of geography, and we have a national lab here in Tennessee, the hell are you talking about? If the South is less educated than other parts of the country, that's a product of us being the poorest part of the country. Do you have any idea how classist that makes you sound?

Stop acting like the South has a monopoly on bigotry because you're too uncomfortable with acknowledging that it happens just as much in your own liberal back yards.
