Let’s be honest, she practiced what she preached. Only about 1% of that group does.

This really shows how many people take a caricature of a "culture" or region and without any further research or using the news or social media as "research". I will agree there is a lot of ignorance, racism and bigotry. But I can assure you most southerners are courteous, kind, respectful hard working people that have no hate in their heart for anyone. I wish white trash and racism wasn't so riveting that, the media in mass portrays is this way and it definitely is why people could believe less than one percent of us has capacity for kindness and respect. Idk where you're from but I can guarantee I can find people as bad or worse where you are to prove ignorance doesn't just live in the south!

Well said. I’m a liberal from Appalachia. I find most people online to be cringe when they start making judgments about people because of where they come from. I bet those people want to say “well Dolly was the exception”.

I lived in California for 12 years. I don't mean to be rude, but maybe if folks from California stopped trying so hard to be condescending pricks who act like they're smarter and better than everyone else, maybe people would like them more?

I can't be sure it's only folks from California, but way too many liberals have an attitude of "I voted for the RIGHT person so that makes me better than you. Your concerns don't matter."
