I dated a chick that moved to Frederick... it’s a lefty town BIG TIME. I will say that the venue that Jane Fonda apparently spoke at, the Weinberg Center is lovely. They have a pipe organ at that theater and I attended a showing of the silent classic film The Flesh and the Devil... accompanied by the theater organ, which raises up out of a pit at center stage.
If it is liberal it is due to the evil DCer commiecrats shifting up 270 to get away from the hellhole they created. Soon Frederick will be destroyed by them, as well.
I hope my mother doesn’t live to see it truly liberal. She loved it going to college there. That was then (yikes - same age as Hanoi Jane!).
