Not necessarily. But she does have some of those folks in her district. Lots of Scotch-Irish up there.
They wouldn't like you, either.

Nah. I read what she actually said. She's quite right, especially back up in the hills and hollers, or down in the swamps.

I notice that your willingness to do this is directly proportional to how red somebody is politically.

@larry said in Upping the Crazy:
Put it back in context - if someone sent by government tries to get a person's personal information, it is just too "Big Brother".
That practice is sanctioned by the United States Constitution. It's called a census, a thing mandated by the Constitution to be done once every ten years.
@axtremus But Ax, that process has gotten completely gonzo out of control.
Two censi ago, I got the long form. Anybody who has never gotten the long form, prepare for a surprise. Many questions that are so beyond the feds' business that they're off into the stratosphere someplace.
Their explanation is some BS about how the information helps them distribute the largesse.
Right, uh-huh.
So I left all the intrusive questions blank and sent in my form with the legally required answers.
A couple of months later this little old guy in madras bermuda shorts and knobby knees and white golf shirt shows up at my door with his little clipboard, announcing himself as being 'here to help you complete your form' -- like I didn't fill it out completely because I was too stoopid.
I was truthful. I said the questions I didn't fill out were not the govt's business and so forth. He trots out the thing about apportionment. I said I didn't think the Founders had that in mind. He tried coming at it from other angles, gotta hand it to him, he took his job very seriously, but I hung tough and he went away defeated.
Oh yeah, another thing. The feds threaten non-responders with a $100 fine, and guess what? It has never been levied.

Nope. I read what she actually said. It's a very common viewpoint down here. I suspect it's also very prevalent in Appalachia.
Your bias is showing.

Absolutely is. But I sure as shit don't look up to those people or consider them God's own. They're fucking assholes. Their neighbors, who have all the rusted out cars and machinery in their overgrown yard, but without the bullshit signs posted out front I have no problem with whatsoever.
Please love yourself.

And I've probably got as much Irish and Scots blood in my veins as most of them. I just don't go on about it all the time.

And the practice of telling government to get the fuck out of my business is called FREEDOM, and is how we came to have our Constitution in the first place, Shit For Brains. And THAT'S to be done every day.

That is categorically not the case for every Appalachian crazy I've ever met or heard of. Maybe up in New England, though.

Sure, nobody with rusted out cars piling up in the driveway votes Republican here. Just ask anybody who doesn't live here if you don't believe me.

In this neighborhood:
“One or two signs of not more than four square feet each with a maximum elevation of six feet expressing support of for or opposition to political candidates or other issues which appear on the ballot of a primary, general or special election. Political signs shall not be placed on a lot earlier than thirty (30) calendar days before an election and shall be removed within two (2) working days after such election.”
That guy is so lucky, freedom is a great thing
I am familiar with this rule because I am the guy who publishes reminders if someone jumps the gun. I had to publish a reminder today because someone has a sign up and there are 87 days until the election.

The impression being left is that Trump supporters are all a bunch of trailer park trash and rednecks with junk in the yard. There's no truth to that. I can take you to a development where the least expensive house is in the low 2 millions where you'll see Trump signs all over the place. Then I'll take you to the redneck junk in the yard trailers with the Biden signs.
The truth is that trying to draw this conclusion is asinine.
