Yeah I am here in WNC where we have been gerrymandered into MAGA. I have Tim Moore. To the north of me is Virginia Fox and to the west of Chuck Edwards. Outside of Asheville, Boone, and Gastonia it is a sea of red hats and meth. I was born here and when I was a kid we had Democratic reps until Heath Shuler quit. These hill are full of bible thumpers and hate. It really baffles me. Hillbillies have been "othered" since the start of this country but yet they do not see the need to reach out to the black people that live here or the Cherokee. If we all would just come together as Western North Carolinians we could do so much.
