    America put their snake away in a box and over the past few decades started taking it out like those old southern Christian faith healers who dared to have the snake bite them but believed that the Lord would save them.

      Oh man, real Appalachian hours up in here.

      Doubly appropriate that the strongly anti-South Appalachia of the Civil War (and radical pro-labor Appalachia of the 1920s) is now the strongly pro-conservative Appalachia of the modern day.

      We didn’t kill the snake, and apparently now we fell in fucking love with it. Poison coursing through our veins and all.
