Then NC ain't for you, Andy.
If you really, REALLY want to be in the "reddest state in America", I'd suggest West Virginia.
It took them time, but those folks seem to have learned the hard way.
I'll bet mountaineer can step in and say it better.
Much of the south seems to be "creeping back towards the blue". That is, what it is.
I predict WV will remain "red" long after states like NC have gone blue (like Georgia already has). Even Florida won't be immune, due to "flooding" -- not from hurricanes, but from the liberal/leftist north.
There's a reason WHY WV will stay as it is.
I think you might already know.
(It's also the reason why Vermont will remain one of the "last livable places" in America, even though it will likely remain a blue state...)
