If one reads Quora, one notices that there are a lot of Brits who worship the Royals and nobility as gods. They obviously pine for the days that they were serfs, and did not have to make any decisions other that what porridge or gruel they would eat for Dinner. These are the same twits, that constitute the fascist base.

It is the same in the red states. I am descended from plow boys and share croppers, who themselves once owned slaves, but not at the time the Citadel cadets fired on Ft Sumter .

They happily marched off to die in service to their betters, leaving a wife and children behind shortly to become widows and orphans.. Also a couple of cousins who were slain, one was captured and died of smallpox at Camp Douglas, Chicago. Some bought into the states "rats" b.s., others were motivated by racism.

The red states haven't changed at all, in fact they have become worse, being infected with religious extremism, LGBT phobia, and the misogyny of male superiority and rule (meaning that they really don't believe they are superior.

A truly superior person does not need any artifices to bolster their ego, id and identity.

Obscene and cruel to force anyone of us who believe in fairness and equality to help Republicans dismantle this country so they get richer.
