Higgins and Kennedy both from Louisiana! They are good men with common sense and a great form of character. Kennedy provides the humor while Higgins provides the fear. God bless The Dirty South! America, look to the south to save you. When it comes down to it, we are the ones that will take no shit! Push us far enough. Corner us long enough. Threaten our families and children sly enough. Mistake our kindness for weakness. Dismiss our humility as weakness. Call us slow. Underestimate our resolve. We are the gator lurking in the swamp. When you least expect it, the swamp shifts shape. In the end, you will not make it alone. You won’t be able to walk the streets. The swamp becomes your street. You will be helpless. You will be scared. You won’t comprehend the level of how lost you are and you will have only one opportunity to repent. The south will rise again. All men! Who love their families! Who fear God! Who love righteousness and despise the wicked will not move one inch. They will not budge. They are planted firm on the very ground their creator placed them. We need not fire a shot because it will be the enemy that comes to us. But it will be the enemy that is seen no more! Your greatest mistake was to underestimate the love, passion, and faith of the slow, simple, and humble southerner. We have many ways and most of them do not require death, but if you push us too far and leave us with no way out, you will reap what you sow. Our children's future depends on it. I pray you awaken from your slumber and open your heart to love, but for reprobates, there is no salvation! You have made your bed, and now ye shall sleep upon it!

I believe in Americans in general. Here in the northern rural areas we hardened by weather and difficult conditions. Avid hunters and plenty of woodland people who will no doubt take up defenses here. We lack poisonous snakes so we will tromp through the woods and fields confidently to aid our fellow Patriots.
Amen patriot. When I say south, I mean a mentality. Country folk! The ones you really don’t want to mess with.
I get what you mean. But the South gets shat upon much more than other regions of the country and Southerners are frequently made to be the butt of jokes. The stereotype of the inbred, toothless, illiterate, barefoot, racist hillbilly is much more common than any other region's equivalent.
So this is the type of things Southerners do to make themselves feel better about it. 🤷♀️
Edited to add: Was born and raised in the Deep South to a family that has roots there back to the late 1700s. So I know that of which I speak.
Well I just found out in 2018 in my 50s thanks to ancestry that my DNA is centered on the Cumberland Gap. I have deep roots in the country too. This meeting of my family has taught me a whole bunch and I certainly had many stereotypes undone and some confirmed. So did they. I will say this though. My siblings talk funny! I’d say it to their faces. The sayings they come up with are hilarious!
Like “Take it up with the dust, and let the rain settle it.”? It’s what you might say when you can’t repay a loan.
