There's a spontaneous combustion of Dem dissent in my area (edit/link included)
That would be VA.
Steve Bannon has told his viewers to go local with their issues and pot stir to boiling point. And they are. In my "neck" we've seen ultra RW Boards of Supervisors, Boards of Education and what have you becoming aggressive with their "hair on fire" BS issues to inflame the public...nothing you all aren't exposed to where you live.
However, these thugs are so beyond the pale with their lightning rod nonsense that the general public is now speaking out, in the Opinion Section of their local newspapers where the writer can't be shouted down. This has been building up for several weeks, strong SANE fact-check v. ad hominem attack public-information viewpoints of a fed-up, informed public who express themselves well in written form.
Most people are loathe to write a LTTE no matter how liberal they are. It's not in their DNA. But it's necessary to get control of the narrative right now. If our representatives know we have their back, it makes their job easier. They can't do it all, not when it comes to losing our democracy.
Once one or two letters are written, others join in to create its own life form.
An important election is coming up. Express yourself. The facts are on your side, but FOX won't report them. You have to, again and then again.
If your paper has an Open Forum with a 500 word max, for god's sake, become an editorial writer and use it, often. The 250 word Letter section is just fine, too. But doing nothing isn't.

FYI, this link only shows the month of April. Dem dissent goes back much further, and the Winchester area is conservative.

Usually, something will be mentioned that I will investigate myself. It used to be harder before the internet—I actually had to go to the library. 
I lived in Winchester/Frederick Co throughout much of the 1990's. Stephenson to be exact. Real fine place for a progressive to make a home.
Not.
Unless you live there all your life you are an outsider. We lived in the area for over a decade - wife from Western PA in the late 1980's, me from Northern VA in early 1990's - but were still treated like shit.
Same as it ever was.
And the national head hoodlum of the KKK lived in Frederick Co during those years.
