10 Memes to Help You Understand the South

Some say we’re living in a deeply divided nation. Others say, “No we’re not, you liars, this means war!”

I think both sides have a point.

And in an effort to heal things over just a little, I’m going to try to educate myself about parts of the country that I don’t have too much familiarity with. For instance, the south. A place with a rich and storied culture, which I will now attempt to fully comprehend through memes.

Take a journey with me out of Yankee territory, ya’ll.

9. Inch by inch

6. Georgia on my mind

5. Ya’ll think different
