Unfortunately, conservatives will never move to the cities and colonize which is why those of us here are under such stress. Imagine NYC a conservative city! We would dominate the country! But there is so much hatred among conservatives towards cities that it is worthless to pursue. Which is interesting because liberals, who we disdain as cowards, had no trouble moving into NC, SC, Georgia, FL and TX in an attempt to change it.
Assuming an air of moral superiority, and showing the “dumb hicks” that they mean nothing and less than nothing, has been the method of operation in all these “colonizations” of rural and small-town America.
But the attitudes these newcomers try to displace by their “superior” intellect, runs into a streak of cussedness and “show-me” that is legendary in places like Missouri, but by no means to be confined to that geographic area. The shrewd and well-grounded response to all these “new” forms of social graces is to say, “Gut genug fuer Unsern Herrn, Gut genug fuer uns” (Good enough for our Lord, good enough for us). The religious faith is deeply intertwined in the minds of these “hicks”, and forms an almost impenetrable wall between the “New Folks” and the natives.
Very true. I appreciate that so many people want to live in big cities, all crammed together and living like pigs. It keeps the west all nice and open for normal people.
Interesting point. Look at Virginia. Mission accomplished. The trend doesn’t seem good in North Carolina.
