No, that's how he got elected...by you ignorant redneck southern twats.

LOL! Thank you for proving my point. You're a moron, dude. An unhinged one at that.

Okay Mods.... Is this stuff really okay here?

Actually if you need to blame a group of people for the election of Trump it would be those who reside in the rust belt. That was the major shift in this election.

I see a whole map of red that includes your Bible belt. The phrase "white male, no college" was said over and over on election night.

But facts? Who needs 'em?

Yeah but the south is voting Republican regardless. Trump actually got those northern states to change.

So I'm clear...the fact they always vote that way makes it OK that they did it again?

Yes.

Enscheff, by your remarks about the south in general (I'm actually from the Midwest originally), how did you become a Braves fan. Just curious.

I'm sure most people on here are because of the TBS days.

I haven't paid my membership in months. I sure budget cuts happened as a result

I actually grew in Okla. and didnt get TBS (grew up in a rural area and no cable). I began rooting for the Braves in the early 90's while watching the playoffs. Then, I just "happened" to move to the ATL area because of my job 25 or so years ago.

WTBS was added to cable back in 1981 in my part of Texas. I've been a fan ever since. The ability to watch a baseball team nearly every day was something of a new experience back then.

Braves on TBS every day after the Andy Griffith Show. Got old enough to really follow baseball right as the Braves got good in '91, so a 12 year old jumped on the bandwagon.

I catch them every time they come to SF or Oakland, and have seen them in LA as well. I try to make the trip to the cesspool that is the South once a year to catch a weekend series in Atlanta. How anyone stands being in the outhouse of the US more than a few days at a time is beyond me.

The humidity does suck here sometimes.

[TheBravos]

I grew up in 105 degree summers that were plenty less miserable. GA's humidity is unreal and I also never had allergies until I moved hear.

Yeah the humidity in Savannah sucks pretty bad. I've been in Atlanta for extended stays in the Summer but Savannah just plain miserable.

The humidity is a massive part of why I'll never live in the south-east again, unless professional factors absolutely dictate I must (which isn't very likely). Having spent the better part of sixteen years growing up in Pensacola, Florida, I know intimately how heinous the humidity gets, and I have no desire to ever experience it again. Even the two months of summer in Chicago was a bit too damp for my tastes; meanwhile, the life-affirming aridity of Arizona is something I'll actually dearly miss when I move on to my next port-of-call in a few months.

But to Enscheff's point—though I'm by no means as damning or denigratory as him on this score—the culture of the south-east, generally, is another big part of why I never want to move back.
