What the hell has happened to HB in the last 30 years? It used to be such a chill little beach town. Now it seems to be a haven for Nazi, fascist, racists.
I’d say growth of inequality, then internet, pandemic, global warming, trump and ETC ( not all in that order necessarily ). There’s lots of places that have gone to hell and I think 🤔 those are some of the reasons.
It’s just hard to understand how the people of HB as I remember them would get swept up in such hateful politics. There was always a small pocket of skinheads, but now those attitudes seem to be the majority, instead of a tiny little outlier group. I don’t understand how a community can go from Jimmy Buffett, to FOX news. Whatever the driving force, it’s fucking sad.
