When I "write off the South", I also need to acknowledge there are some really wonderful people living there. Unfortunately, they are surrounded by some high percentages of not so great peeps. That "Southern mentality" toward people of color and the Civil War legacy make me write it off quickly. But I've driven all across the USA numerous times (never been up to the Northeast yet), and I've seen dixie flags waving in every corner of the country.....most always in the rural areas.

I feel for the progressive and rational people that are surrounded by so many ignorant cult types. Then the Covid vaccination subject makes me literally afraid to be around such parts of the country at all. Virginia, Georgia and North Carolina are almost blue, and hopefully Florida will join one day too. I have little faith in most of the rest, MI, AR, TX, AL, TN, WV. So many, so proud to be so ignorant and block headed.
