I mean Atlanta is a bit of a liberal bastion so maybe that’s a touch off

The City of Atlanta (10% of the population of the metro area) is, but Roswell is one of the more relatively-conservative suburbs. Not as conservative as somewhere like Kennesaw or the rural parts of the state, but less liberal than the majority-minority suburbs in places like Dekalb or Gwinnett, and way less progressive than in-town neighborhoods like the one I live in.

Point is, the people angry at this Republican congressperson were his constituents, attending a town hall in his district – so yeah, a lot of them likely voted Republican.

Edit: I realized belatedly that this is the !atlanta thread, not the !politics one, so apologies if you’re a local who obviously already knows this context. But maybe you just wandered in from browsing ‘all’ or something and aren’t local, in which case I hope the explanation helps.

Because they’re stupid and trying to fit in. I’m from NC, we’re beginning to see the same thing here, just waiting for Medicaid and/or Social security cuts to actually go into effect and a lot of older people really start bitching.
