Other than the weather, rural Appalachia and the south have a lot in common.
Yeah, the politics aren't great there either, but it's no where near as bad as what we've been dealing with.
I'm really looking forward to actually having seasons. First time we were there, people were talking about how bad a heat wave they were having and it was still better than Alabama.
I'm a redneck, and from what I've seen so far, I'll mostly be at home with the people there.
yea, 90 in pitt is HOT. I miss seasons. I need some cold to reset my year.
The people are nice, but the politics are probably about the same, just more cities factor into the representation.
It's so much quieter there. The muffler laws seem to actually be enforced. In Alabama, the penis trucks have become so loud they interrupt conversations inside.
At the voting booth, politics are about the same, however, our neighbors have become scary here. There have been major fascist changes in the state and it has gotten real spooky.
While rural is very much red in Pennsylvania, the cities are blue and that influences lots of things in rural areas. The schools are also way better, my son has been doing online school for a while due to how bad they are here. It will be good for him to actually go back to a physical school.
Doesn't Pennsylvania have annual inspections? I bet that helps.
Georgia has Atlanta and lots of big companies, so that helps keep things a little more sane. Blue cities in the south have a very different feel from blue cities elsewhere.
Yeah, they do have inspections and that is probably what does it.
Atlanta is great, culture wise, but fuck driving in that abomination. Peach Tree!
Huntsville was our more progressive city, but it has really changed, and not in a good way.
With all the companies and people moving to Atlanta, if anything it keeps getting more progressive while staying almost as religious as the rest of the state.
