I lived there for a few short years. They were the worst years I've ever spent ANYWHERE. I knew some nice people, but most of them were some really clueless Trump Humpers. . . .
And the politicians? Sheesh. It's hard to believe that J.W. Fulbright, Dale Bumpers, David Pryor, and Bill Clinton were all in politics there, as the current crop is truly horrendous.
But I know the types who elected those assholes, and I am so damn glad I don't live there anymore. I cooled my heels for 3 years there for a job, and I had to get out or go crazy.
I got pretty fucking tired of people asking me where I went to church, and I was disgusted with them assuming I was a repig simply because I'm caucasian. . . Ugh.

(4,149 posts)I couldn't quarrel with the people who were nice, as I really liked them.
But a lot of them just didn't get an old, secular (agnostic) Jew with a grouchy attitude. . . .

So, as teenager she witnessed segregation first-hand in her school and town, and told me all about it and the people with which she attended church.
So, despite having never even visited there once in my lifetime, I get wat you're saying.
