I met a couple in college and that was pretty much it. I did have a friend, real big pentacostal, say to my Jewish friend "you guys killed jesus" so lol

The South didn't take to kindly to them helping out with the civil rights movement, and open anti-Semitism used to be a GOP platform plank. It got largely stomped out by the influence of William F. Buckley and his National Review bully pulpit, because Israel was a solid Cold War ally against the Soviets. It still pops up every now and then, much more now that Buckley is dead. For example, how every bad thing Obama ever did against the right is the fault of Saul Alinsky, a man who died when Obama was 11.

Huffington Post ran this essay in 2013 on Elliott County, Kentucky which voted Democratic in every single presidential election since it was incorporated in 1869 up to and including 2012. Anyway Hillary lost it 70 to 25 lol

loquacius posted:Do Southerners actually hate Jews or what because I've heard that a few times Most racism I encounter is either directed toward black people or anyone with a name that could vaguely be construed as middle-eastern. I've pretty much never encountered antisemitism offline, but that may have to do with Jewish populations being almost nonexistent in the region. Hispanic people used to be on the receiving end pretty often around here as well, but it seems to have died down considerably in the last ten years, even with Trump stoking the flames recently.

The Kingfish posted:Since you shilled hard for Hill all primary does make you some sort of reverse accelerationist then? No way are you interested in "dismantling capital" what a crock poo poo. In fact, I'm pretty sure that during the primary you were arguing in YCS that a $200,000 income is middle class. Yes I'm not an accelerationist but with Trump we get the grand experiment as to whether accelerationism works. I supported Clinton because I didn't think a popular leftist movement - as distinguished from a campaign for office - existed with Bernie and wanted to avoid the accelerationism we're gonna see with Trump. And $200k is middle class; most of what we popularly consider middle class is actually working poor. Things are actually even worse than they seem!

At the 200k level you can't really use income alone to determine class membership.

under marx class is determined by relationship to the means of production, so if ur a ~110% tru leftist~ then you'd have to know where the 200k comes from before you decide whether that person is permissible to guillotine

Fiction posted:This was basically what we got with Obama and it was still better than what came before. More pressure on candidates would provide real change in this department if the dems ever got state houses/senates/the real house/the real senate again. Obama is certainly not better than what came before. Obama has been practically speaking very similar to bush's third and fourth terms and it's certainly not because of republican obstructionism.

$200k seems like upper-middle. At that point, it's probably a married couple who work for a living in an urban center.
