Jokes aside, let us not forget that many of these people voted blue through gritted teeth in direct opposition to Trump. Those people will not appreciate being called a liberal for their votes. They will 100% go back red on the next election if and when Trump and his cronies are not on the ballot, unless the Dems can take advantage of this situation and show some actual fucking leadership and demonstrate why their choose was a good one. This is not a time for complacency. We won a lap, not the whole race.
NC is really a pretty liberal and educated state, and continued urban population growth is likely to continue the trend.
It’s just got a lot of rural areas and the GOP locked them down during the 90s
Don’t hold your breath. Corporate-Dems think they won and this is a clear sign that poor people want neoliberalism and elitist “progressiveisms”.
Can you share what neoliberalism or elitist progressivism means to you?
I understand how to parse the words, but it’s just a nonsense label to ideas you don’t like. You also can’t really label any group as both “poor” and “elitist” at the same time.
I didn’t label any 1 group as both poor and elitist at the same time.

What’s your strongest language?
Latin.
Nice. I barely get my thoughts across in english.
Those people will not appreciate being called a liberal
What do these people have against liberty? Don’t they like freedom?
Texas for brisket, sausage. KC for ribs. NC for pork.
Ah this is the correct answer
Korea
I don’t disagree.
In this context that would be called grilling. BBQ is also a term that is used, but not when you talk about Texas, Kansas, and NC. We have that too. You wouldn’t cook a ribeye this way. It’s just different in this convo.
Fried chicken is also relevant here, and the Korean KFC and KBBQ are foods that deserve lots of respect IMO.
Who am I kidding? I just like good food.
I also like delicious meat. Would certainly give that ribeye a new home
Nothing beats a good Texas brisket.
Kansas city is just sauce. It should be called casserole, not bbq.
NC sauce makes their bbq inedible, so I I am not sure how good their meat is.
North Carolinian here. Me and you need to have a talk out back.
I am upset at your description of Kansas City style but cannot disagree.
I’ve been to a few places, including local favorites. It’s not that stellar, even aside from the sauce.
My ex thought Kansas was in Texas. I wish I’d asked for more information. Did they think Superman and Dorothy Gale were from Texas?
Central Texas oak-smoked brisket is the best BBQ that exists
If you need sauce to cover the meat, you did it wrong.
Eastern NC style
I didn’t like it when I first moved there, but it grew on me. Now, I love it.
I think they all do different things well. Texas is beef and brisket in my mind and NC is for pulled pork. KC has a good sauce, but I’m least exposed to that. Why divide and separate? Unite and share the love.
Honestly agree, I like a kc based sauce (I prefer to make it spicy) but then I’ll put it on some delicious BBQ from anywhere lol. Brisket? Spicy kc based sauce, pulled pork? Spicy kc based sauce… chicken? See above lol.
Whichever one has the best burnt ends.
Texas.
I know I’m biased, but Texas all day every day.
That said, I do love me some vinegar sauce
I like how Texas still gets no love. Bless your heart.
They’d win in a taco contest
Not if New Mexico is competing
On a business trip I once had a group of burly Texas oilmen all agree that the brisket at the “DC area chain restaurant” was the best they’d had.
Which was … pretty fucking funny tbh.
For the next decade they all tried to find a better joint in Houston.
I don’t even like brisket that much.
@prettybunnys Austin has better BBQ than Houston
I agree with you on the brisket. I like it best as pastrami.
daaaauuum lol
Carolina Q but KC sauce
This is the answer.
It’s Kansas, but only one place in Kansas. The rest suck ass.

Kansas side or Missouri side?
Original location is on the Missouri side, but just barely. They have many locations on the Kansas side now though. I suppose it’s more a Kansas City, both states, thing
