We have a few small towns like that in Virginia too. A growing number of small, sleepy towns out in horse and farm country are slowly turning into political cesspools. The pattern is clear, the older people pass on then the families sell the property to the highest bidder. Often a leftwing familial units or homosexual “families” looking to move out of the craphole they created in the cities, infest the countryside towns like locust.
We deal with it all the time, painfully skinny and loud metrosexual types complaining about the slower lifestyle, lack of retail outlets, level of municipal services and the people they chose to move near.
Leftists ruin everything they touch.
You must live near me. Yep, “wine and horse country” type area. New neighborhoods pop up out of nowwhere, half full of libs who immediately want to put in a mcdonalds or pave scenic gravel roads. Many are transplants and have no appreciation for the area.
Maybe you know the main street town with the big “rainbow” flag display ....just in your face on the main drag. Some of them try to run for office, but are usually defeated.
Interestingly in our town, a homosexual individual who is conservative to the bone was recently tossed off a town function committe for being “too racist.” They will turn on each other, too ... it doesn’t take much of their righteous indignation to do so.
