My initial objection was about the culture you experienced further south vs the culture in MTG's district, which always struck me as a pretty culturally unique place (in addition to being the carpet capital of the world). You riffed on the part of my comment that was a joke (re: Marietta and ATL).
I disagree with you less than might have been obvious, particularly because I've had relatives make the move north and experience some discrimination.
I can assure you there are many people who reside in MTG's district and find her deplorable, reprehensible, and an embarrassment--both locally and nationally.
Source: I live in her district. And work for an outstanding software company that's headquartered there.
Indeed, and I try to remember not to needlessly give people too much crap about their representatives because I realize that as much as I dislike them, it's quite possible they dislike them in a much more personal way.
There's plenty of consolation to be found in that state right now, I would think. In the same election you guys voted in a black pastor and a Jewish journalist to the US Senate. I wish my father could have seen that.
