      I love this fucking country so much.

      But man, we gotta do something about the South, they are just destroying everything good in America, again.

        The South is a big part of this country. You say you love this country, but are you sure you don’t just love your small part of it? There’s a lot more to this country than just your community.

        When I say I hate this country I’m talking about the whole thing. The aggregate, the sum of all its parts, the good and the bad. There are good things about this country but they are outnumbered by the bad. For every good person, there are ten terrible people.

          I’ve lived in most of the country.

          I love all of it except the South.

          I’m sorry I can’t find my way to loving a part that was literally 100% obsessed with racism and slavery for centuries, even after other Americans fought and died to stop them, and continues their racism to this day, to the point that they switched political parties when the Democrats decided they weren’t willing to be racist anymore.

          I hate Nazis too, and I can say I hate Nazis without saying I hate all of Germany.

            I love all of it except the South.

            Do you say to a significant other I love 2/3 of you? It’s an odd compartmentalization, to slice off a large part of something, set that part aside, look at what remains and say I love this thing. I’m talking about America, all of America. The good and the bad, taken together.

            You might say that taken together, the good outweighs the bad. In your mind, the bad is contained, concentrated in one specific region, but that’s just not true. If you think racism only exists in the South, you’re foolish. Did Trump only get votes in the South? If Trump had only won the South, he wouldn’t be president right now.

            There’s also a lot more wrong with this country than racism. That is not our only problem. Even in the areas that might not be as racist, there’s plenty of greed, selfishness, an attitude of “I’ve got mine, screw everyone else.”

              You mean 3/5tha?

              If she was a genocidal racist? Absolutely.

              I’m brown, and I lived there, they’re monsters who should have been put down after the war for everyone’s good.

              Hitler mentioned them as the model for Germany to follow in mein kampf, the Nuremberg Laws are just Jim crow for jews.

              But it’s fine.

              The inbred filth will resort to violence, again , they can’t help it, and we’ll finally fix the problem like we should.

                You’re not getting it. If you like a girl, but there’s a part of her that you don’t like, you can’t just break up with that part of her, you break up with all of her. ALL of her. You get what I’m saying?

                You say you love America, but there’s this big part of America you hate. So you don’t love ALL of America, do you?

                But you also ignored the part of my comment where I rightfully pointed out that racism in America is not limited to only the South. Again, if Trump had won only the South, he wouldn’t be president. You also ignored the part of my comment where I, again, rightfully pointed out that racism is not America’s only problem.

                  YES!

                  WE NEED TO BREAK UP WITH ALLLL OF THE SOUTH!!!

                  They don’t belong in America, they never did, Lincoln was wrong to not let them leave in peace to make their own 3rd world shit hole.

                  Like I said, I’m sure a lot of Germans loved Germany without loving the nazis, these are literally our nazis.

                  And I love America enough that when the time finally comes, I will gladly fight for her against the subhuman filth that have been trying to destroy her since birth.

      I find myself contemplating this exact same sentiment at least once a day at this point. I just have to wonder how representative I am of the general populace here. Am I some weird outlier, or is this common? If this is common, I just don’t know how the country can sustain itself, or if it even should.

        It shouldn’t. It’s a lost cause.

          Oh, the billionaires who funded The Heritage Foundation, and The Federalist Society definitely have a plan.

          Neo-Feudalism, with slavery from for-profit prisons via the 13th Amendment.

          Until they completely abandon the Constitution, and declare a new Techno-Theocracy of America.

      Without the nazis, Democrats would be the right wing party and we could have actual leftists. Is it the country you hate, or the nazis?
