Wow, @dirge. This is painful. And powerful. It it like a time capsule of our times, and also a microcosm amidst all the painful socio-political drama. Very accurate, I'm sure. I don't live in the south, but there are various flavors of this scene everywhere - clashing ideologies, people name calling and putting people of "other" viewpoints in boxes. It is ripping us all apart.
Fiction gives us the opportunity to capture real life at its best and worst, and to create art of real, everyday experiences. Well done.
