It’s also, and more importantly IMHO, about liberals moving en masse to Georgia. The same thing that has been happening in Texas since Perry started it and what is happening in Tennessee(ie Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville).
In Georgia, they’re moving into Atlanta and the northern suburbs as fact as they can build the houses. Moving into the city and gentrifying entire neighborhoods like they did Grant Park in the 90s. It’s gotten so bad that Bottoms was begging black residents not to sell to white home buyers and investors, even though she was raising taxes to the point where these people couldn’t afford to live there anymore. It’s gotten so bad that the current mayor wants to build affordable housing.
And then, of course, we have the current Governor who has opened up the state and it’s general fund to Hollywood liberals, tech companies and other companies that bring their liberal workers with them.
Some will scream….they’re bringing jobs. Ha ha ha ha. Here’s how it works.
The liberal Acme company announces a move to Georgia and will bring 500 jobs. Guess what, about 400+ of those jobs will go to the 400+ employees that will move with the company….or….only new liberals can apply for the remaining ones.
Kemp is there already.
IF you are a Georgian( which I doubt) then you have purposely mischaracterized this state
Name the great tech companies that have moved into Georgia. As to filming here it is lucrative for the state and local businesses. They don’t come here and live. They come in and rent rooms and hire caterers or eat out. When they’re done they leave
All those “outsiders” haven’t move in large numbers despite what you say. Yes some have moved here but that isn’t as big an effect as younger voters. The younger voters are not as conservative as the older generation.
Georgia for many years was more democrat than republican (it was part of the confederacy after all). Never forget the state gave us Jimmy Carter
Kemp has his faults. But I’ll take him over Abrams. He signed pro freedom gun legislation. He’s kept a lid on taxes
No Georgia isn’t what it was in the sixties. Thank you God
It is a more conservative state than you realize
It is not a surprise that a black preacher (with a shady past) is the dem candidate for senate.
Herschel was not my choice for the senate run but those loyal dog fans didn’t pay attention
There have started to air some good ads for him
Election Day will be interesting. Walker may yet pull his race out. Even liberal dems don’t want Stacy
Oh I’m one of those outsiders who moved to Georgia from a very liberal state. Glad I made it to a place of sanity
GA hopping in bed with Hollyweird is a huge chunk of this.
Over half the state’s population is in Metro Atlanta. It’s a different state from what it once was.
