We moved here in 2014, before trump was trump. Given the choice now, we would have been FAR more careful of MAGA presence; we live in one big huge MAGA nest here in western NC. But we like the scenery and, being in our 70's, this is where we will die. Which is ok. We just might make it long enough that the MAGAts go back under their rocks.
