> Then in 2018 all hell broke loose when Georgia’s governor’s race became the subject of national attention.

Because local elections have national consequences.

Then in 2020, GA's special elections determined control of the US Senate, and therefore the fate of the Biden Admin.

Shouldn't the nation pay attention to GA? At least as much as say Iowa and New Hampshire?

> The national media completely misrepresented Georgia and the people in it to the rest of the country.

Nonwhite voters are systematically disenfranchised in GA. Enough so that in a straight up fight, Stacey Abrams would be governor.

Those "misrepresentations" of GA are packed with history. Slavery, Confederacy, Jim Crow, Southern Strategy, etc. Centuries of denying nonwhites their right to vote. Sure, white people feel resentful about being constantly reminded. For everyone else, it's present reality, not history.

If you're curious, I recommend the books These Truths, 1619 Project, and The Sum of Us.

> ...a state that’s the destination for huge numbers of Black residents...

That's the plan. Immigration back inland, to flip those reds states blue.

Were their any progressive do-gooder billionaires, they'd be paying people to move inland. To start farms, businesses, families.
