1. Actually Asheville is really nice. Tolerant too.

[mcar]

2. Asheville is one of my favorite places

Despite its artsy, hippie vibe, there are a lot of conservatives in the area. Idiot Cawthorn is the congress critter there.

[whathehell]

3. Lol

Yes indeedy..

[rustysgurl]

4. That's The Way It Works ... Right?

Keep voting and re-voting until you get the outcome you want.

11. No, no, no. That only happens after

the counting and recounting and recounting of the recounting and recounting of the recounting of the recounting.

And then if a recall is available, you choose that option because it's basically a revote. Failing that, you just demand revotes and eventually, if accompanied with enough foot stomping and histrionics, you get what you wanted all along.

5. Oooooh! Is she spoken for?

[panader0]

14. Somehow I knew you'd show up to hit on her.

Must have been "she seems nice" in the title. LOL. Cheers Lucky.

6. she's the type who, if it was 100 years ago, would be passing out sandwiches at a lynching

7. May want to see where she was on 1/6

8. The tweet says the board members had already left the building.

So... exactly what was she expecting was going to happen?

I wish this clip ran on just a little longer. I'm dying to know what happened next!

9. I recently moved from Asheville to South Florida.

In the past few years, Asheville got too cold. It was frequently in the path of the polar vortices -- arctic air in North Carolina.

Asheville is a wonderful place, but the Buncombe school system had a terrible reputation. It was all very conservative, meaning they paid the teachers as little as possible and gave them nothing in the way of school supplies.

10. I guess she's saying: You Can't Go Home Again

unless you take another vote.

12. That's unusual for Asheville, which is a blue beacon in a red zone

Many of the folks in the surrounding counties are antivaxers, cult 45 members and some live in that county, which is Buncombe. I'm in a neighboring county and had no idea that went on.
So thanks for sharing.

A neighbor who is a teacher and a Democrat went to a school board meeting recently, and was one of only a handful wearing a mask. They voted not to require masks when school resumes in that county, which is another neighboring county, of which Buncombe has 7.

And they are part of NC district 11, which elected meadows and cawthorn. Those are the folks who didn't used to act like vermin but are empowered and delusional now. They're attacking the one liberal zone in this area, In this region! Don't like the result, demand a recount or a revote so they can cheat?! I'll be sure to follow the news on this.

13. Look at the idiot on the left

with the "Don't blame me I voted for Trump" shirt. These people are revolting on every level.

[Tomconroy]

15. The first time I saw that slogan the shirt said:

Don't blame me! I voted for McGovern.

[Thrill]

16. Ugly inside and out

[MyMission]

17. Here's an update

https://www.newsweek.com/furious-mom-demands-school-board-re-vote-mask-mandate-north-carolina-covid-restrictions-1616901

....snip....
The school board didn't re-vote on the matter. Buncombe County Schools will require students and staff who don't provide proof of vaccination to wear face coverings in the new school year in school buildings and school buses.

About 30 people present signed loose-leaf paper saying they were "witnesses" to the formation of a new board, after the group of parents reportedly declared its creation themselves.

Parsons told the Citizen Times on Thursday: "They acted as a dictatorship, and so therefore, the people then take it into our own hands to abolish that governance and re-elect new members right then and there."

Buncombe County Schools attorney Dean Shatley said the parents' attempt to form a new board didn't remove the current board members from their positions......

This is crazy. Cawthorn was apparently there, supporting this group and their cause.

[BlueIdaho]

18. That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works.

These batshit crazy crybabies need to just take their ball and go home.

[MyMission]

19. I couldn't agree more!

Batshit crazy crybabies sums it up well.

Lots of them across the country, having or planning temper tantrums and insurrection. Not a majority but they make a big noise and feel empowered by others of their ilk.

21. Oh, he was there alright

Madison Cawthorn crashed the Buncombe, NC School Board meeting tonight and berated the members for passing a mask mandate: “You have sacrificed the social, emotional, and psychological development of our children on the altar of wokeness.”
