Bruce, are you surrounded by Donald TUMP fanatics in your part of Georgia like i am? The county i live in borders Maggot Traitor Greene's district, big trucks, shooting guns at night, trying to block county roads and much more mayhem here. I am sick of living in Georgia...

Yes, pretty much solid red here. The representative here is none other than Andrew Clyde, the one who provided AKA-15 lapel pins for House members. He was also the one who showed incredible "bravery" on Jan. 6th when he was seen scared out of his wits and cowering behind walls and barricades when rioters were trying to break into the House chamber. In '20, this area went about 73% for T***p, I believe. Hardly any Democrats ever run for anything here. Even though our burg here of almost 50,000 people is something like 30% Hispanic/Latino, that presence hasn't translated into any real gain of Democratic voters. I keep hoping for a change, but nothing yet. I purposely keep a low profile here, never responding to social media posts that might give away my identity as I don't want to receive threats—and I know they happen because others I know have had to endure harassment. Going on to a site like the local version of NextDoor really shows what you're dealing with. Just yesterday someone posted a picture made here of a cloud formation that looked (in a stretch) like T***p with a heart over his head and folks were waxing rhapsodic over what it meant. There were a few detractors, but I won't go there. My favorite last week was a bunch of people going off on how clouds are being seeded with steroids and one person swore that it was a plot to turn us all into transsexuals. Uh-huh. I am not making this up. So yes . . . I'm surrounded by zealots. Sadly, I'm stuck here and because of my severely restricted income, I cannot afford to relocate. There are times I REALLY question why I didn't stay in The Netherlands when I had the chance!

Good sharing from where you are. The cloud seeding story is one for Sat Night Live or Seth Myers…

I might add a few other things that happened to us, before the 2020 election, i had a BIDEN/HARRIS sign in my yard and me and my family were harassed, cursed at, and had our tires slashed. We had to buy 2 new tires as the scummy TUMP terrorists slashed them on the side walls of the tires, and a side wall puncture cannot be repaired.

One day, when my grown, eldest granddaughter was at my house, the Fascist terrorists drove by my house and were yelling and cursing at us, my granddaughter responded by yelling as loud as she could to them, GO TO HELL!!!! That effectively stopped the harassment...

My eldest granddaughter is fiery red haired gal and doesn't take any crap off of anyone!
