victims of misinformation and secularism.

What's a victim of secularism? How can you be a victim of not bringing religion into a discussion?

Whoops got my vocabulary wrong. Meant insularism. Southern culture specifically encourages social isolation and a toxic self-reliance attitude in men. It promotes an ideology of "everyone who isn't like me is wrong" and "ill never ask for help or ask for someone to teach me a new thing" which, coupled with the most gutted public education in the country, pushes many right into the arms of the RNC who tell them exactly what they want to hear. I saw it happen to many of my childhood friends, family, and even myself for a short time.

To play devil's advocate

A lot of DeSantis but jobs would probably believe deep in their souls that Disney is "victim of secularism".
