Here's a little hope for today, from [this article](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/18/us/western-north-carolina-election-helene.html) on NY Times:

>Meagan Bergmann, 36, said she had voted for Mr. Trump before and was planning to again. But when she regained internet service at her home, she read some of his false claims, including that Vice President Kamala Harris had spent “all her FEMA money” on housing for people who had entered the country illegally, or that the state government had provided “no helicopters, no rescue” for stranded residents.

>“We don’t need someone who’s going to talk bull crap about this area,” Ms. Bergmann said, noting that she had decided to vote for Ms. Harris. “I got swayed pretty hard once I went online and saw all the misinformation going around.”
