Same thing here in my little hamlet in NE Florida: million dollar homes that supported Obama. They came here with their millions from NY and Ca and now want to become what they left.
Seriously, I was at a party recently when someone heard I had lived in Ca and approached me starting a conversation with: I heard you are from the Bay Area, don’t you find the level of intelligence here somewhat low? I asked, why did you move here if you feel that way. Answer, taxes and “foreigners” were over running the place and this was different. So, I guess the retort should have been so why do you want to change it but I just smiled and moved on.
Yeah, everyone is a knuckle dragging hick. Charlotte schools are a mess so parents send there kids to Charlotte Latin, Charlitte day for over 20k a year.
