A chat I had with my wife a few days ago on a hike when spotting a huge Lindell sign on a truck

near a trail head

First - driving around this area of NC (which is admittedly quite red) shows the undertones of both Biden hatred and TFG and his minions support - pick up trucks with big signs, plethora of bumper stickers, Big flags - also lots of front lawns with awful signs (the Cawthorne ones bother me the most).

Anyway we went for a nice hike in a nearby forest - near a trailhead was an old pick up truck with the Lindell Frank sign plastered all over it, and a flag. We were pleased to not run into them - BUT we did when returning. Two men in their 30s, we think - one of them said to my wife "so have you heard about this"? My wife - "yup". One of the men - "are you interested in learning more"? My wife - "nope". I had two of our three dogs I was controlling but even given that couldn't find myself making eye contact or comments - if I started, it would not have gone well.

Anyway - my wife said to me "so, they really are a cult". Me - "yup". Then the kicker from her - "wow, they are such weak people".

My comment - "Yup".

She doesn't follow news and politics like I do and came to this conclusion so quickly.

There is just a dangerous, ominous undertone to what is going on around here. Of course, its been going on for some time - but it is more visible, and in your face.

When reading your post, my first thought was "But, it's not a cult."
Now they're worshipping a buffoon who worships a buffoon.

We gave the world Meadows and Cawthorn. Two hands on insurrectionist, traitors, Liars and outright assholes that love their Jesus. And the assholes here call em Patriots and hero’s. Really really stupid, not just illiterate, but outright stupid people. Whose lips are tightly attached to gubment teats for the checks. Dollar stores, gun stores and Churches thicker than fools at a Trump rally in Bama. To them, this is paradise, what else ya need, a Walmart, a dozen dollar stores, 3 dozen gun stores with Jesus signs all over them, and Churches everywhere. MurKKKa. The Churches have video pads attached to the back of every pew, streaming Fox during service.
And worshipping the billionaires that would not waste spit on any of them. The Forest are amazing, the people are brain dead. Southern hospitality 😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆. I stay off trails, bushwhack everywhere. Most of them can’t get far from their trucks. Spent my career teaching Forest Management. Most of these “Hunters” in Walmart camo 24/7, dumb as a rock, ranting about killing bears, or anything that moves close to their trucks, would cry like a bitch if I made them walk too far up the mountains for Lab sessions. So I planned all those 6 hour labs as far up a slope and away from the School van as possible. If I were not surrounded by 1,000’s of acres of trailess Mountain Forest to play and hide in, I would be outta here. Ya know we have the most snake handling churches any where. Idiots, Cawthorn super fans.

When I voted the other day I almost went off verbally on some repukes at the polls. They are dangerous and most want liberals dead, and that's not a stretch to say that. My next door neighbor has a post on facebook front page that says "if you're a liberal you should seriously consider suicide".

Americans are getting really sick of these loons.
