Seriously, what a poisoned-well OP. We get it, there’s a lot wrong with the South. You want to criticize state governments? Go ahead. Want to go after the Georgia vote suppression bill, or the Texas abortion lynch-by-lawsuit law, or jackasses like Lin Wood or Ron DeSantis or Marjory Taylor Greene? Knock yourself out. Want to rain fire on Southern Baptists and other evangelicals trying to legislate their religion? Plenty of grist for that mill.
But to drop a little poison-pill thread that asks if there’s anything good about the South, implying obviously that the answer is no? That’s either stunning ignorance, straight up bigotry, or simple trolling.
I got pissed and composed a lengthy reply, but I should have given the OP the answer it deserved:
Does the south have any redeeming qualities?
Yes.
