Saturday night thread on Democrats dissing The South.
Please don't comment until the end.
I'm tired of being a WHO in WHOVILLE.
Traditional southern states included, y'all can argue amongst yourselves later.

South carolina, a lovely state, my favorite piece of ocean is there.
855,373 democrats voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
1/

North Carolina, also lovely.
They had 2,189,316 Democratic votes for Hillary in 2016.
2/

Virginia, elected more presidents than any other state due to the 3/5ths rule.
Yet they still had 1,981,473 people come out and vast their ballot for Hillary.
3/

West Virginia, very red state. Very. Still, 188,794 brave soul voted democrat for Hillary Clinton.
4/

Tennessee, pretty damn red, but 870,695 Tennessee folks turned out and put a ballot in for Hillary Clinton.
5/

Alabama, a state that many people are still afraid to drive through, 485,131 votes were cast for Hillary Clinton.

Mississippi, which tbh, I'm a little frightened to drive through, cast 729,547 votes for Hillary Clinton
7/

Louisiana, where is was still probably HOTTER THAN HELL, 870,154 brave souls came out and voted for the Democrat.

Florida, you know, the state you consider crazy af, 4,504,975 democrats voted for Hillary Clinton.

Sweet Georgia, which I love for it's peaches and it's rocks, came in at a solid 1,877,963 votes for HRC.
Woot. Holla!
10/

Texas, home of guns, cowboys and such, came in at 3,877,868 votes for Hillary. And yes, Texas is the South
11/

And last but not least because I'm still proud we at least stayed neutral in the Civil War 😐, my home state of Kentucky, 628,854 of which I was one, voted for Hillary Clinton.
HOME STATE REPRESENT!
HOLLA!
12/

My point is this, and if you retweet anything, retweet this.
When you write off "The South" as y'all like to call it, you are writing off 18 million 970 hundred thousand, and 43 people.
That's more than a QUARTER of the people who voted for HRC.
13/

Those 18,970,043 people most likely listened to crap from Trumpers, family members and friends all day long about how great Trump was and WE STILL VOTED OUR CONSCIENCE.
And no, I don't want a cookie.
But I'd like just a little effing respect.
Signed,
BK
