Yeah if you’re from the south at all yall know theres that whole ass saying about 1/3rds of folks in the appalachias being communists, only liberal yuppies from the north are ever surprised by this lmao
Appalachia is the land of kindly lesbian witches who chain themselves to trees to protest pipelines.
