Ever after big political change it feels extra weird to visit. Lines had been drawn, footings fought over in the ways our nation defines and redefines ourselves. Friends and foes have to come back around to a civil decency. And a lot of people worry the dividing lines between that was okay then, but now it's a crime.
Part of the mystique about East T'see and WNC is how we survive onward regardless of top-down politics as a bunch of fiercely independent people and "community" that defines us as an area of the United States of America. There's always been kindhearted people who've no problem explaining logic to the more fantasy-motivated amongst us. Sometimes that's same old shpeil to neighbors, but sometimes it saves youth from lethal mistakes, brings a human touch to business, and sparks something in visitors' hearts that will help them and our Country when they go back to different kinds of American places and spots in the world.
Even not liking everything about an administration or someone with strong views isn't cause to disrespect. It makes us all dig deeper for authentic and liveable. The mountains being solid makes this principle so.
