I have actually.

Oh my God that would be awesome

Act as if we will. No seriously like half of politics is the manifest will of the people. If you decide right now that Trump isn’t going to do it then it’s going to be normalized by 2026 and outrage will not occur. You need to expect the next election with all the force of reality you can muster.

The only person here whose even uttered an insult is you when you called me a “weak ass”.

I’m sorry but not submitting to your personal Inquisition into my life does not make me a troll.

Lmao. No, but you do you.

I just don’t care enough. It’s not like we’re talking about human rights here.

I’m not doxxing myself for Internet points.

Mmm, the most profitable side for themselves or their donors.

Consistency was never their strong point.

I never said the borders of the states were the borders of culture. They are merely convenient units to show the breadth of a culture. In fact I split states several times once we got to drilling down at your request. And none of this makes Indiana part of Southern culture. It is firmly Mid-West and part of Ohio River Valley culture built through the 150 years or so the river was the main mode of transport. In fact it’s this same culture that reaches down into Western Kentucky. Which is why Kentucky is only debatably southern, switching depending on which map you use.

Because you kept bringing it up.

I didn’t think you were.

So you are but you are not.

These are conflicting statements. You either are, or are not. And Indiana is nowhere near the south. Even including Kentucky is debated. What you are is rural Mid-West.

Your own evidence invalidates your entire premise that Indiana is The South.

The differences between Arizona and Nebraska alone are enough to invalidate this.

You’re the one that wanted to drill down. I was open about the general cultural regions.

Food is a big cultural thing, but it can also travel. For example we can get good Kimchi now. But I would never refer to a large section of the US as Korean.

Yes I’m aware of how far the Appalachians officially extend. You forgot Scotland. No the mere presence of them does not indicate Appalachian culture. Yes the area from North Georgia to West Virginia and mid Maryland to Mid Kentucky is a distinct culture.
