The GOP regularly attacks progressive portions of America like Massachusetts, New York, Chicago, and California in order to divide the public. When the last time you heard a Democratic politician say disparaging things about Alabama?
Bev Purdue - “Folks are saying what in the world is going on with North Carolina, we look like Mississippi.”
Where is Alabama in your quote?
Do you not consider Mississippi a conservative portion of America? Gallup has it as among the most conservative states, and it was disparaged by an outgoing Democrat governor just a few months ago.
And, of course, such disparaging jabs can come from the
Republicans as well.
