    I was born and raised in Central Illinois. You know, the Land of Lincoln. The dude that freed the slaves. I moved to South Louisiana 25 years ago. Louisiana, a slave state where plantations surround me has nothing on the racist I encountered in Illinois. You get outside Chicago and they are full bore Maga. My family included.

      I know the Maga crowd are the minority of the country, but holy shit it feels like they’re everywhere.

      My home town outside Pittsburgh turned into a raging shithole full of the most ignorant, bigoted people.

    In Florida, it’s the other way around. The more south you go, the more northern things get. Until go you get to Miami anyway, that’s a whole other world.

    One of my neighbors in Rhode Island flies a Confederate flag, the first national flag, not the battle flag.
