“This used to be a very conservative area.”
In the 1950s maybe! Since the 1970s it’s been a more liberal area than many others nearby. It’s Montgomery County after all!
I lived in Montgomery Co, in the 50s-70s. It was very conservative in the 50s but by the 70s things were changing. Went back about a year ago, the beautiful farms are gone,as well as the wonderful people. I miss the old days.
