People shouldn't generalize about 'the South' though--Virginia is culturally on a different planet than Tennessee and Alabama are.

Not my favorite region of the country. All those bapist churches next to IHOPs and strip clubs. Looks like they have the weekend covered.

If a republican does it, it's automatically allowed. It'a just the way they roll, All or nothing thinking, it's called.

(49,533 posts)They jumped immediately on the story to frame it. The first perception (the most important one) that people were given was, "This was just WORDS." Doesn't matter that the words indicated he had sexually assaulted women - the memes went out that Trump was just engaging in "guy talk" and had used an inappropriate word or two.

(7,947 posts)That includes everyone. Something happens in the world, and people rationalize or justify it, or don't rationalize or justify it, based on what and how they already think at the time. What and how people think can change over time, but that comes from within. Tough to change someone's mind by telling them.
Assuming the poll is real, I'm guessing 48% of people in the poll already thought it wasn't a big deal.

(65,134 posts)I simply don't believe this result. For one thing, how was "big deal" defined? Does it equal to astronomical cataclysm or does it equal concerning? Stupid questions result in stupid polls.
