    Hi everyone, European here. I have a quick question: Are Georgians fucking broken or why did they vote this person into office?

      She had no opponent. He dropped out because he was getting death threats.

      Also yes, white Southern conservatives are broken people who only feel better when someone else is suffering.

      My guess is the only way this is gonna change is when people like her get dragged into the street and beaten to death by a crowd

        Makes sense. The death threats don’t come as a surprise. But I am also not shocked to hear she only made it this way. What a shit person she is.

        It is known. I hate this timeline.

      I’m from Georgia. But I’m from Atlanta which is a big city. Obviously she’s a nut job. She’s from a tiny tiny district that has only like 10,000 people.

      This is the result of gerrymanding such that you get heavily concentrated districts and have insane people who run unopposed.

      She does NOT represent the entire state. We voted for Biden and have two democratic senators. We are very “purple” but trending blue.

          The good thing is we are fighting the good fight here. It’s somewhat exciting to be part of a swing state. I’m voting in every election and trying my best to mobilize others also. I could probably do more…

      The cruelty is the point. These pathetic southern losers feel like they can’t win at much of anything in life so they want to make sure everyone else is losing, too.

      I grew up in Georgia, not the part she represents, and while there is no shortage of batshit crazy white people in my home state her particular district is a place I will never return. It’s right on the border of Alabama and populated by people who are afraid of ‘the big city’(meaning brown people, immigrants, and lgbtq people)and moved as far as they could from Atlanta while still driving there for work
