Fortunately for the state of North Carolina, most of its residents share the political sensibilities of the more productive and civilized states. The author of the meme probably doesn’t know that California, if it were a country, would be the 5th largest economy on Earth. That’s something to be emulated and respected, not ridiculed.
Most of the population of North Carolina is within an easy drive to Raleigh or Charlotte, which are rife with great universities, top-tier financial service companies, and centers of technological development. And its Atlantic coast, with its Outer Banks, is a true wonder.
Now, if you want to find hillbillys, it’s not impossible. Just head west. You’ll notice quickly that the towns start to look like the one pictured at right. 
Poor education, little affluence, horrible healthcare, but plenty of political rancor and Fox News viewership.
Sadly, a significant number of U.S. voters believe what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, i.e., that “God isn’t finished with America yet,” and that “We need people (from the Republican party) of character and integrity,” as if there are any.
But what is that number, roughly?
After living through the first 18 month of Trump’s second term, with all the lies, the incompetence, and the corruption, this number has dwindled to a point that the Republicans are bracing themselves for the worst.
Republicans Manipulate American’s Ignorance — and it Doesn’t Take Too Much Skill
I’m sure some of these excuses are extremely common in the minds of those making huge profits by destroying our planet.
