They have all bought this fantasy branding and collective identity. It's really wild.

Stars and Bars in CT with every town having a civil war memorial. Drives me nuts when I see it

And they’ve appropriated so little. Just a messy yard and some rotten tat

By the cannabis dispensary, near the vape shop and liquor store, down the turnpike from the casino — it’s a yankee puritan hellscape

well, in oregon, that's just returning to roots of place as whitesonly utopia that was supposed to be proof of concept that america w/o either negro slave or savage native could be a great country. oregon has never not been whitekanda. white college hipster, white country boi... they like it white.

Oh for sure, but Oregon was never part of Dixie and sure as hell you shouldn't have a pseudo-southern accent!

with the immigrants & mongrels the north let in, the yankee whites that settled oregon from new england didn't really exist anymore much past reconstruction. so, southern is white now.
