The Mount Pleasant Christmas parade is pretty dope . It ' s in the evening , they kick it off with an impressive fireworks display , and all of the floats are lit up . Free , but you ' ll need to show up a couple hours early to grab a good viewing spot from the sidewalk . Also in Mount Pleasant during the eveningtotally corporate cheesiness , but freethe lights and decorations are decent for a stroll when the weather is nice . <| sep |> Good game Ags , y ' all never quit . Hope Knight is ok . <| sep |> I ' m in tears 😂😂 <| sep |> I know that . They ' ll learn eventually . And if they don ' t then they ' ll die and the world will move on without them and everyone will forget about it . Smalltown life is disappearing The shift from the industrial revolution to the digital revolution is unstoppable . Our economy will be shaped by an abundance of services from here on out Their way of life is dying , not because people are trying to kill it , but because they refuse to adapt . The suicide rate for rural whites is twice what it is for the cities . The rural heroin epidemic and alcoholism is killing them because they refuse to adapt . Because they cling to a past that they cannot have back , because times changed and left them behind . Is it fair ? No of course not . But so what ? Life ' s not fair . They ' ll adapt , or they ' ll disappear . Electing Trump simply guarantees that the path they ' ve been on for years will continue . They ' ll still suffer . Another candidate will pop up in 2020 or 2024 and keep telling the same lies . Eventually they ' ll vanish and the world will move on without them . This sounds really cold and heartless to write , and I feel incredibly bad for them because I can ' t say that if I was in their position I wouldn ' t desperately want to buy Trump ' s crap too . But it ' s a fact nevertheless . One can only hope they listen to reason before it ' s too late .
