This point seems lost on so many. I can't count the number of times when I've seen some vile language being used about a particular group, and when called out on it, the speaker says something about how they thought liberals were all tolerant and yet now we're not tolerating his beliefs. Yeah, it doesn't work like that.

Being pro-tolerance sometimes means that you need to be intolerant. Have to look at the bigger picture, not just one particular situation. If some ignorant buffoon is obnoxiously and loudly intolerant of groups of people, then intolerance of that person's outlook and behavior would be a net positive in advancing the overall goal of social tolerance.

I suggest Cobb County

Forsyth County has lots of northern transplants now (unfortunately) so I wouldn't go so far as to say it's totally red. Or maybe those Yankees are just trying to fit in with us southerners!

The only thing is many of the northerners we get, especially those from New Jersey and the Midwest, run more conservative than where they are from.

They are the ones looking for lower costs, suburb/exurban style of living at an affordable cost that they increasingly can't find where they are from. Those areas, even up north, trend a bit more conservative.

Funny OP! That was one of the best troll OPs I've seen in a while.

On these:

A good friend of mine is heavily involved in the Democratic party of Gwinnet. They have been working for about 10 years to turn it blue and even with the election not going blue in general, they were super stoked about their work paying off with Gwinnet.

This friend is one of a few I discuss politics with in real life because they are not a political nut lol. But the turn of Gwinnet to the Dems was a combination of more minorities moving in and the conservative whites leaving and more liberal whites moving in as well.

I feel if I stay in city I may start looking like a fruit, protesting violently anytime anyone says something I disagree with, have to keep pretending I like minorities when I don't really associate with them, and continue referring to everyone as racist and bigot when they say something that may offend anyone so people will think I am open minded and kind. Is there anywhere in Atlanta where liberals have not destroyed? Or do you just move into a neighborhood and start posting anti-abortion, anti-planned parenthood and Jesus is Lord signs in your yard to keep them away (sort of like a crucifix to keep satan out?)

Maybe some of them will move to Canada or Mexico like they promised when Trump was elected? Or maybe they will move back to California or Northeast where they came from. They all complain about how conservative Georgia is but they flock here in droves because it is one of the few cities they haven't destroyed yet with their unaffordable housing, outrageous taxes, high immigrant population (new York/California), and outrageous Obamacare options. Maybe they will all move and when they do the original Atlanta natives (many African Americans) can have their city back. You know the very people who have pushed you out are the ones who pretend to be on your side right?

I will be happy to provide Southern Baptist flyers on all liberal households, Jane and Dick books for their tranny kids who they made tranny, and lots of bacon, fatback and nitrate loaded hotdogs for their weirdo vegetarian lifestyle.

Have a blessed day.

There should be no limits, but forcing people to think and be a certain way will always create a backlash no matter how right you feel about your own agenda.
