I wonder if Georgia Democrats can write to MTG complaints about Musk...
I could do so from CA, but it wouldn't put any pressure on her.

You can still find good people, but the crude violent white trash culture became the dominant white culture.

(2,906 posts)Southerners continue to get maligned unfairly by those outside the south. I live in a blue island in Georgia surrounded by red. Some of my very best friends vote Republican. They are far from white trash. Honestly, I know as many people that vote for Democrats I would consider low class as I do Republicans.
Most are the nicest, kindest, most giving and well mannered people you would want to meet, regardless of party affiliation. Its only in place like DU and X where you see the worst in people come out when it comes to manners and class.

Southerners voting for a yankee from NY; talk about cognitive dissonance.
Southrons will continue to be maligned until they stop acting backwards and start calling out those who do.

(10,438 posts)Musk is a very unpopular figure. He's unqualified to do what Trump has given his permission without any oversight. Writing to her from Georgia about Musk might gain steam against his corrupt crew. Hopefully some are already writing. But more would be better.
