How many people on DU from Georgia?

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.

I used to work at some hospitals in her rube red district. It was a nice area, except for about 80% of residents.

and I sold cash registers to DQ in Dalton, Western Sizzlin" in Rome, a truckstop in Adairsville and a Captain D's fish and chips in Blue Ridge.. It saddens me that this is what has happened to her district. These people wern't always this way.

People like Jimmy Carter are few and far between these days in the south.
You can still find good people, but the crude violent white trash culture became the dominant white culture.

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.

As someone who has never been north of I-40, I know the south and I will be their harshest critic.
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.

Politics is not everything. I wouldn't even put it in the top 5. People matter.

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.
