    I dont think the lines are the same anymore. Social media and 24/7 news has given people in plenty of northern regions the same viewpoints. A civil war would not be north vs. south. it would be neighbor vs neighbor

      I always hear this.

      I am brown and grew up in the Midwest.

      Then my family moved to the south.

      This is like comparing Canadians who care about hockey with the Khmer Rouge exterminating much of their population.

      The south is just infinitely worse in literally every way.

        there are a lot of nice people in the south. there are a lot of brown people in the south. you think everyone needs to suffer brutality for what the worst do?

          In the Midwest there are bad people too.

          The difference?

          In the Midwest when a racist is being a racist, people say shit, they stand up to them!

          In the south the bystanders just laugh, at worst they laugh nervously.

          Which is why it’s a vile and corrupt society.

          Police yourself, or don’t be surprised to be judged as evil.
