    Perry County, Tennessee is only 8,300 people. There are only a few towns in LA metro smaller than that. Both LA and Orange Counties have had corrupt sheriff’s that were sentenced to jail. Imagine what it would be like in a county where everyone personally knows your family and there are very few checks and balances on power?

        I saw a docu about places like this once. People don’t dare to express non-Republican political opinions let alone openly support one. Violence threatened and carried out. And of course election isn’t quite as secret as you’d think. Voting anyhthing but Trump requires balls.
