Lots of liberals joining the military these days. And the cities are what they are. Magnet for liberals who love city life. Sad. I’m in far s.w. part of the state. Beautiful here and very, conservative thank God. I think we went 77% votes for Trump. Some counties more rural went over 80% No kidding.

There were quite a few good ol’ boys (salt of the Earth types) from your neck of the woods.
Also, my sister in law is from Martinsville. I went to their wedding there about 28 years ago. It was at the Basset CC. Her family was in Martinsville high society.
