When the pandemic is over, every town in the South ...

... should have a statue of the coronavirus so they don't forget their history.

2. LOL

[magicarpet]

3. The Daughters,... Sisters,... And Brothers of Corona virus could sponsor the monuments.

4. You shouldn't tempt them...

You've seen the Boll Weevil monument, yes?
It's actually pretty cool.

8. WTF, appreciation? The boll weevil destroyed the south's cotton industry back then.

[LunaSea]

16. Yeah, but they realized they could grow

other things besides cotton in the aftermath.
Sometimes it takes a six-legged 2x4 upside the head
to get peoples attention.

28. They switched to peanuts nt

[GulfCoast66]

29. The weevil was the best thing to happen to them

It made them diversify their agricultural, mainly to peanuts which became much more profitable than Cotton.

6. They will put up a statue of Trump for ending the pandemic.

They will put up a statue of Trump for ending the pandemic.

[SergeStorms]

23. And we can make them take it down.

Traitor that he is. They can throw it in the waters of Biscayne Bay.

9. Have you heard about the Confederate statues?

It was my understanding they had been in the news once or twice in the past 5 years. Maybe it passed you by.

[HUAJIAO]

13. Unfortunately, there are also many, many red areas up north, like in Up-State NY were I live.

[hueymahl]

10. I get the joke

But there are a lot of solidly blue towns in the south. Don't particularly care for the south bashing around here.

[evolves]

14. Thank you.

We aren't all hicks and rednecks.

[murielm99]

17. I don't care for it, either.

I live in a very red area of a blue state.

[Treefrog]

19. Same here.

And never once have I had one of these weird “mask stories” so many here seem to have.

[CaptainTruth]

22. Agreed.

I'm about as far south as you can get & I live in a community full of very nice folks who got vaccines as soon as they could & are still wearing masks.

It should really say every town run by anti-vaxxers, doesn't matter where they're located.

[GulfCoast66]

30. Thank you. Guarantee you my town would not put up something to trump.

No large city in Florida would.

Funny how when we read about horrible behavior of folks in Ohio or Indiana we southerns don’t start up with ‘ those Midwestern states…’.

My wife’s from rural Indiana. I’ve never heard the openly racist language I heard there in the south. Probably because they have no black folks they might risk offending and potentially get their asses kicked. Most white beard, boring and shitty food place I’ve visited in America. My wife’s Uncle was looking to move to Florida in the early 90’s. He actually told the realtor not to take him to see neighborhoods where black folks live! The realtor immediately took them back to the office and pretty much kicked them out and said he would no help them. He could not understand what the big deal was!

11. Daughters of the Coronavirus

I really hope the pandemic doesn't last longer than the confederacy, which was 4 years.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. I wonder how many years it'll take before they actually care? nt

[Treefrog]

20. Yeah, because no one in the north or other parts of the country is ignoring the virus.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. Huh? Did I say that no one in the North doesn't care about it?

It's all about majorities.

[evolves]

15. The South hasn't cornered the market on racism.

We have a lot of confederate monuments, but not all of them....

[machoneman]

21. Every town in the South....won't have but 2 people to see that statue as the rest will be dead!

[Piratedog]

24. There are plenty of towns outside of the south with the same problem.

[Upthevibe]

25. Kick....n/t
