What To Do About the Southern States
Maybe it’s time that the majority of Americans simply chill out with respect to the hateful stupidity that pervades our most backward states. We’ve been trying to fix what’s wrong in the Deep South for 150 years. It simply doesn’t work.
There’s a reason that most people in, for instance, Mississippi or Arkansas, live there. If they want to ban books (see meme at left), deny science, or teach creationism as science, perhaps it’s time to say, Have It Your Way, as in the old Burger King commercial.
From Neil Young’s song: Alabama. You have the rest of the union to help you along. What’s going wrong?
The answer: Nothing whatsoever. This is precisely what these people want. So why not let them live their dream? They’re already at the bottom in education, economic opportunity, and healthcare, and they’re close to the top in racial violence and gun deaths. How much further can they fall?
Now, obviously, there is a line. Don’t lynch black people. If it comes down to bodily injury, we’ll be after you, as we explained to the assassins of Ahmaud Arbery and anyone else who was listening, when our justice system sentenced this innocent black jogger’s three murderers to life in prison, and, up until fairly recently, would have fried them in the state’s electric chair, like so many pieces of chicken.
Seriously, after almost two centuries, it’s time to learn that societal concepts like Trump, white supremacy, and cold, raw ignorance coupled with seething hate against non-Whites just may be the perfect path for some people.
Perhaps it’s plain time for the rest of us to turn our attention elsewhere.
There are problems we can solve, and others we simply can’t.
There are 4 additionions that should also be considered.
1.) Build a really solid, and well fortified wall — around the whole area — and not let anything out.
2.) Move “The Donald”(Trump), his whole entire family including “the little missis”, and everyone that voted for him –inside.
3.) Move Fox News, lock,stock, and barrel — including Rupert Murdoch and every person presently associated with that “organization” inside the wall.
That would include no means of broadcasting out.
4.) Anyone that that thinks and acts like the people down there — no more voting in any elections anywhere outside the wall — including National Elections.
The ability to procreate can’t be touched — but by walling them in: they can only “crap in their own nests” — and be stopped from fouling up ours.
Actually– most all of this can be accomplished; if those of us really want to , and it would be legal.
Just totally ostricise them from anything and everything in the rest of the country.
