Asheville is a wonderful place, but the Buncombe school system had a terrible reputation. They paid the teachers as little as possible and gave them nothing in the way of school supplies.

4. Brainwashing. They joined a cult, basically. A lot of these people aren't actually stupid.

Well certainly some of them are quite stupid, obviously.

But many of these people live among us and have their talents and expertise. They are completely capable of making informed, rational decisions when that thought process hasn't been overridden by their dear leaders.

Many of these people would have worn masks as a completely non controversial matter of course had Donnie not decided to make not wearing masks a loyalty test.

But as soon as he did, their role as foot soldiers for the cult became more important than any independent thought, so here we are.
