I'm an old school Southern Democrat. I'm Progressive and extremely to the left of modern Democrats. I believe that everyone is entitled to a standard of living and that includes a home and a mode of transportation and a mode of communication and a way to provide for themselves. I hate how the New Southern vision was sabotaged by Reagan and the Republican Party. We could've had a more inclusive and diverse South. I'm from the Gulf Coast. When I was growing up the Gulf Coast was the last bastion of Southern Democratic dominance. Republicans have taken over our area and corrupted the minds of our people. Southern Democrats are often seen as a monolith but just like the overall Democratic Party it was a big tent. I believe we can revive the Progressive tradition in the South but it's going to take effort.
I don't care if you think the user is a real person or not. I want to share an anecdote with you.
Over a decade ago, I had a coworker who was extremely racist. There's nothing I could do to change his mind. I just try to avoid him. I don't know him anymore, he's probably smoking meth somewhere right now.
One day, this coworker comes to me and tells me that one of his icons is 'Henry David Thoreau'. Henry David Thoreau was an abolitionist who was friends with John Brown. So I ask him why he likes Henry David Thoreau when that contradicts all of the racist stuff he believes. The co-worker tells me that he likes Thoreau because he learned about Thoreau from his favorite high school teacher.
My point is that sometimes people just remember names that they heard in high school and don't actually know what it means.
edit / I want to add that it's impossible for me to prove that any person on hexbear is real because rule 2 is no doxxing. However I would say that if a user voluntarily posts their real legal name, in the form of an email address for example, it's pretty easy to find their other social accounts.
