I was under the impression that Real America typically encompassed the midwest states. See all the Iowa corn eating political rallies and whatnot.

I know SE US is chock full of minorities. I've been here all my life.

Also:

the south has spread southern culture to the midwest, so it is okay

I was thinking state legislature, so in between those two scales I guess

those counties and towns are dependent upon state government for funding/budgeting/allowable policy reasons in many/most cases though

Everyone should get married and the wife has an obligation to provide sex to the husband whenever he wants. This is a beautiful system and biblical literalism is the way to go.
