13. In the southern county I use to live in, we were outnumbered 8 to 2.

When we left, it became 8.0001 to 1.9999, i.e., it didn't matter one damn bit. In 2020, long after we skedaddled, the county went 85% for Trump. 85 bleeping percent! After all the scandals and impeachments. You just can't fix Jebus and Fux News in one generation. Maybe someday we can go back. But now? Oh fuck no! In short, some places just can't be fixed. They can't be reasoned with. They will not change.
