"Violence, intolerance, aversion and suspicion toward new ideas, an incapacity for analysis, an inclination to act from feeling rather than from thought, an exaggerated individualism and a too narrow concept of social responsibility, attachment to fictions and false values, above all too great attachment to racial values and a tendency to justify cruelty and injustice in the name of those values, sentimentality and a lack of realism — these have been its characteristic vices in the past. And, despite changes for the better, they remain its characteristic vices today.”

W.J. Cash - “The Mind of the South” (1941)

It seems not much has changed in the southern GOP base in the past 72 years.

As incredulous as it sounds, these attitudes seem to have spread north of the Mason/Dixon line.
