[ProudModerate2]

A new poll shows 38 percent of Donald Trump's supporters in South Carolina wish the South had won the Civil War.

Another 38 percent say they aren't sure, while just 24 percent say they are glad the Union won, the poll by Public Policy Polling released Tuesday finds.

Seventy percent of Trump backers also believe that the Confederate battle flag should still be flying over their state capitol.


Nutty Trump supporters ! Are you surprised ?

I'm surprised it's not 9 out of 10...

[Ljube]

LOL!

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Now, now ProudModerate2, where's your down home pride

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Things are really getting out of hand now. Something like 20%+ support deporting gays, blacks, jews, etc.

[Phony Moderate]

Was this way long before TRUMP entered the fray (hey that rhymes!).

[DavidB.]

LOL!

Wow! GOP voters aren't taking kindly to the establishment's extremist and out of touch stance on the first amendment.

In South Carolina, 95% of men admit to wishing the South had won the Civil War, and the other 5% are lying...

Most human beings instinctively support their own countries when it comes to matters of war.

Not when said countries haven't existed for 150 years.

Not so sure about the 28% black population...

Meant to be a reference to 95% (+5% lying) of men doing something else, but we can amend to white men. Actually maybe more accurate!

We're talking about the South here.. even before the rise of terrorism, the South was very anti-Muslim

Is this honestly surprising to anyone? Even some decent people when you talk to them support this kind of stuff, it's more regional loyalty and ignorance/denial than any kind of horrid white supremacist ideology that the south still has.

Yeah, the Deep South isn't known for its tolerance

[Statilius the Epicurean]

I think most people are shocked it's not higher.

[RFayette]

How can this be such a surprise when bands like "Rebel Son" and singers like Hank Williams Jr., who have a fair amount of popularity in the South, make a lot of songs wishing the South had won?

[Joe Republic]

So they're supporting a guy born and raised in Yankee New York City?

The deep south has the most racial minorities.

most minorities =/= tolerance, maybe you should come visit us down south sometime...

I wasn't being clear. I meant that the south having the most racial minorities means it has the most culture clashing, therefore intolerance.

I am not a supporter of the Confederacy by any means, but considering how a lot of Yankees see every Southerner as an inbred yokel, it shouldn't surprise people that some Southerners would rather be in their own country.

The way Southerners act and the views they hold doesn't help matters either...
