We are seeing similar things here in our deep red county, but it's also being recognized. We have responsible county government here that is dedicated to serving the public. I hope to not see that change.

I have to say, we don't see much of that bullshit in our town. Leastways, the only hysterical articles being written locally here tend to be about American Football.

I don't suppose it's possible this guy is over-reacting at all.

Hmm, seemed like a fair, well balance, look at both sides type of article.

He's not.

If Larry were still here (NS and Andy would post more, but that's another subject), he could tell you that Tennessee has become a magnet for East Coast Leftists. Just look at Nashville and the surrounding area.

Just love being mocked when you point out something you have seen. Especially by people who have never been there

When the leftists figure out they are now in a free country they will convert.

Try telling your friends from Boston that you love Mr. Trump.

It can't be done.

You want to have a Trump bumper sticker here? Sure, of course, no problem.

I wasn't laughing at you, or what you said, but at the slightly hysterical reds-under-the-beds tone of the article.

I was in a couple of bands with a guy at high school who ended up in Nashville. He sang country with a strong Lancashire accent, believe it or not. I am still at a total loss as to how he made a living in a place with so many outstanding musicians, as he was really quite terrible. He's back in England now, so maybe they kicked him out.

That's a good observation.

If you had moved into an area with very different politics, you may not change your politics, but what about your children or your grandchildren?

Yes, I am sure that should the Trumpist reaction ever attain power, the freedom of movement within the country currently enjoyed by all Americans, will be clearly defined so as to preclude any person who is identified as a liberal or leftist. The law will be such to ensure that they are concentrated and restricted to reside in specified urban ghettos and wear a badge proclaiming to all their liberal or leftist deviation.

Been picking out in the greenhouse again?

[Renauda]

No, just reading the news from south of the border. Not impressed either.

I saw Trump bumper stickers everywhere here in MA.

I suspect it was people escaping from south of the Manson-Nixon line. Tired of the incessant "animal husbandry", they were making a break for civilization.

@Jolly, instead of “leftists invade red towns”, maybe think of it as “leftists offer themselves up for assimilation by red towns.” Think that will work?

[Renauda]

Then the town becomes a Magenta town.
