LOL, dixie.
Sometimes we *need* jolting, kinda 'laid back' and easy going - unless There Is A Cause to which to respond..:))
Then it's "LOOK OUT!" and "GET OUT OF OUR WAY"!!!
I'm privileged to live in a small, extremely conservative pocket of humanity on the west side of the state, where they are patriotic to the max and fully support the troops and The President.
They are big on church going, celebrations and parades and pep rallies for the schools, etc., and the barber shop on the circle by the courthouse is the political axis..:))
Maggie, I'm still chuckling over that. In our own quiet, laid back way we manage to accomplish a great deal!
