Of course he is popular in North Carolina,a conservative Republican state populated by a whole lot of yahoos who drive beat up loud trucks with rebel flags in the back window , sometimes a rifle.
He speaks to the sleaze , prejudice, homophobia and bigotry there.
We lived in Fayetteville for 8 long years.
Did you?
No of course not .
I did.

When I visited last March, nothing had changed. The route on the way to the Ft Bragg commissary featured trucks with rebel flags , one also hung a rifle from the back window. Yah, we used to laugh at them back in the 80’s and 90’s but now they just make me sick.
Is that clear!
Nothing like a lame ass meme war for a change of pace in here. I voted no, because some in here find some pretty lame ass memes. Don't believe me? Try looking through the posts in the meme group.

Wow
Wow, you must have been in one of the less-than-expensive neighborhoods. My experience in the South was nothing like that!Ledina60 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 8:53 pmYes.Lexy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 7:32 pmAre you serious?Ledina60 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 7:10 pm

You lived there 8 years ago? Hmmmm. Not what I recall you stating on CM. I'm pretty sure you lived somewhere where it snowed. I definitely recall conversations about winters and snowfalls.

I’m from Minnesota. I’m there now.
But as an Air Force wife, I lived all over the USA and twice in Germany.

So people who live in the south drive loud pick up trucks and are sleazy, prejudiced, homophobic and bigoted?
Sounds like you are extremely prejudiced and bigoted towards southerners. So much for being open-minded.
It’s full of crap . And old money southern families.
You don’t get out much do you.
My son and his family DO NOT live there.
They’re in an upper class , liberal area of the triangle area ( Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) . . the neighborhood includes a pool, a clubhouse with a gym.
They play tennis. They don’t have a loud truck with a rebel flag. They have electric cars. They jog and spend time in the gym working out .
I’m so proud of them.
It’s not appropriate to mention anyone’s children here, remember.
Tsk tsk
