I'm in a conservative part of California and can attest that the South is by no means the only problem. It's thanks to seriously misinformed and, frankly, mean-spirited people THROUGHOUT the land that we get Houses of Representatives such as the one we're currently stuck with. Well, that and misconduct around redistricting in certain states. MAGA-like attitudes shouldn't really account for more than 20% of a population in a reasonably functioning democracy. We are well beyond that, with no foreseeable path back to normalcy.

Well, I guess they have a point about some things, like lax prosecution for shoplifting that leads to organized grabs of large amounts of lower-cost merchandise valued in the thousands of dollars and a sense of impunity among the thieves. They also complain about corruption, which is great, but they don't seem to understand that so many people around Trump and appointed by Trump were extremely corrupt, not to mention Trump himself!
