Political analyst Harold Meyerson looks deeply at the recent midterm election, and what it means for the South, and for the Republicans who own it, in a political sense. The South is different, and has always been different, than the rest of the US. On a larger scale, Meyerson tries to paint a cultural and political portrait of what the South is and has been and will be. It’s disturbing but excellently done, and now that I have read it twice, I think I agree with what he says about “Southern exceptionalism”, and I say that as one who was raised in a Southern household (and later angrily rebelled against what I had been taught by example)…BS
