Murdaugh: Death in the Family (2025)
AmieWarren 4 points 8 days ago.

Let me give it to you from someone who has experienced it first hand for most of my life….behind all that politeness and put-on sweetness lies more evil than you could ever know, and it’s not just political, either. The south staged an insurrection that led to a war that made them lose everything, and they are STILL blaming it all on somebody else (first sign of a seriously disturbed mind). It’s pure cognitive dissonance down here. They truly don’t see that they are hurting themselves until the SHTF and it blows back on them. Again, not political, just stupidity. If it wasn’t so terrifying, it’d be hilarious. I am not the only born and raised southerner who knows and believes this, but many are afraid to say anything. Revenge and retribution are rampant here, and corruption is off the scale.
The Murdaugh story is not even the worst thing I’ve seen and heard of in my lifetime. Lots of worse things happen, but we don’t hear about them unless it’s someone rich and powerful.

Another person ashamed-to-have-been-raised-in-the-South-specifically-coastal-SC here: and I concur. Although cognitive dissonance is a wildly American trait in and of itself, it grows heavy, deep, and twisted in the South, like a poisonous vine.
