I have NEVER lived in a state as racist as Merlin. It was startling. And it was the first state I ever felt uneasy when a young black guy got in the elevator with me, so much resentment he radiated. It is not a feeling I ever had, ever, in a city in the South.
Hard to believe.
I’m in western Merlin.
It’s a different world out here.
Where were you?
Near DC/Balto?
It gets iffier the further east I go.
East of Montgomery county, I get a bit twitchy about being too friendly to strangers.
The MD Republicans are nice people.
The MD Dems are still either fighting the civil war or trying to start a new one.
