Doing anything for them at all? Not sure how to get there under these conditions either. The fascist hick politicians have got them all locked up. Source: born, raised, and still live in NW AR.

The Waltons are pulling off a quite stunning bourgeoise liberalization of the NWA metro area, but... that's all liberal catnip and easily spun as "woke agenda" coming to price you out of your neighborhood so an MBA from San Francisco can move in. They won't blame capitalism. Any leftist movement here is playing on hard mode. When the US eventually breaks apart I suspect these powerful liberal merchant classes will maintain local control.

Speaking of... I wish I knew of a leftist anything here. I'm sure I'm partially to blame for not looking hard enough, but damn...

Yeah I'm familiar. There's a good chance our families may have known each other. Depends on when yours was there. No need to get more specific than that right now, perhaps!
