Background: Watauga County is the lone, “pale blue dot" in NW North Carolina. We have consistently delivered progressive candidates to the NC legislature for the past 2 decades and the Regressives in Raleigh have taken notice. The latest round of gerrymandering was laser focused on us and have divided our county in two, diluting our influence.
And yet, all they want, are fair elections. Yeah, right!
Here’s the article that set me off.

A pox on the house of every flag-waving, repugnant Republican who drew up this Putin-inspired plan of perpetual power and every repugnant Republican automaton voter who applauds it as the right way forward in a Democracy where every person has one vote; no more, no less. That is, unless you were once a slave, a woman, a sharecropper or are now a Democrat.
We have worked our butts off in the Watauga County Democratic Party only to be targeted by these anti-Democratic, misogynistic, morally bankrupt purveyors of perversion down in Raleigh and thereabouts; these xenophobic, forked-tongue talking, double-dealing, crucifiers of Christianity and morality; these born-child hating, unborn fetus-loving, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, no-good for nothing nihilists; completely caught up in their thoughtless, irredeemable ignorance; forever basking in the heat of their hellish fires of fear; fueled by their fervent fealty to their patriarchal fathers in Washington and Mar-A-Lago that they kneel before for guidance towards their next act of painting their pathetically perverted version of patriotism for the world to see and put up as the way forward for this great country, the "Light on the Hill", as their Sainted Ronnie declared it, because they have drank from the putrid, pungent pool of foul words and ideas filled by the malignantly, mendacious mouths of their leaders ... and have concluded it tastes just right.
The only flag these self-righteous, self-centered, bubble-bound bigots should be waving is the Confederate flag. Because nothing says "I'm an American" like a flag that represents a bunch of people who said they didn't want anything to do with America anymore.
Oh, wait! Isn't that the flag they traipsed through the Capitol on January 6 and every day proudly fly from the flat bed of their pick 'em up trucks and their bourgeois, bank-owned boats?
Never mind.
