Red, but not totally into this Trump's America thing: Coweta County, Georgia


How 17 Outsize Portraits Rattled a Small Southern Town.  (The New York Times, 1/19/2020)
Newnan had prided itself on its quiet charm. It offered small-town living just 40 miles southwest of Atlanta and had earned the nickname “City of Homes” for its antebellum architecture. Now, on a spring day in April 2018, a neo-Nazi group had assembled in a park near the courthouse, the leader having said the group preferred to hold rallies in predominantly white towns.   
But it turned out that only a few dozen white nationalists attended the rally, and the Newnan they had imagined no longer existed.
Newnan is 52% white
