Split the country in two and be done with it

53. Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, those states like Utah and Idaho are in the South, right?

I've had to put up with this South-bashing my entire life. True, we have our share of asshole racist Republicans, but it's the same all over. Are you willing to write off the large African-American population that currently resides in the South? Mississippi is 37% African- American. There is a huge Hispanic/Latino population in the South. In fact, the South is much more diverse than other so-called liberal areas, like Wisconsin or Vermont. Virginia has been blue for three straight presidential cycles. Florida is swingy. North Carolina has a lot of liberal residents in the Triangle, the Triad, and Charlotte. My family is rural and are 100% die-hard Democrats. You want to throw us out, too? This kind of thing is divisive.
