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.
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.

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.
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.

I suspect it's also very prevalent in Appalachia.
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.
Yeah, but they also tend to vote gasp! Democrat. Doesn't play into the red state matnra...

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.

Saw this during our recent trip to Appalachia…
-
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.

That guy needs a hobby. Or maybe a job.

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.

Shhh...You'll ruin the narrative!
