35. Regional prejudice

works both ways. See this post:

What we call the Civil War is called the "War of Northern Aggression" by many in former Confederate states.

I realize that not everyone in the South is racist, but the former Confederate states were collectively treasonous, and were rightfully conquered and forced to end the abhorrent practice of slavery. The right-wing MAGA contingent openly supports the display of the Confederate flag, and all that it stands for, and actively promotes a return to a pre-Civil War society. Their armed militias openly threaten another Civil War under the guise of "patriotism" when the real motive is to keep anyone who isn't Anglo-Saxon and white from participating in our political system.

I also realize that the Trump-inspired MAGA movement is not contained to the former Confederate states, and has spread to much of the country. But the fact remains that the Confederate flag, and the Confederate ideals promoted by groups like the Proud Boys, are the face of today's Republican Party and Trump's MAGA traitors.

Regional prejudice? Maybe, but it's not based on race, religion, or national origin, but rather on a treasonous history and present-day seditious actions.
