15. My area is a little different situation due to the nature of it's ideological make up.

I live in Greenville NC. East Carolina University. Eastern NC, home of the "send them back" chanting nazis. Eastern NC's general community is full of redhats. But the university community, which includes a regional medical center, vote for Dems. The line seems to be prominently drawn between educated and uneducated here. So, Trump has lots of rallies in Greenville, as the POTUS elections within Greenville tend to be close. It is not close in the down ballot elections. Our congressman, Greg Murphy, a Trumper, won our district in a blowout.

So I imagine that VFW's here could be probably expected to be mostly redhats, as I doubt the university community would be going there to mingle with the stupid (Trumpers).
