I’m from NC. Meadows a typical Tarheel, who has a very limited view of the world.
He knows what he knows and it’s really all he needs to know.
And for Meadows, it’s apt to describe his approach as “Be sincere, even if you don’t mean it.”
The good people of North Carolina just get hoodwinked by clowns like Meadows because they just don’t understand where he’s really coming from. Doing anybody any good, except for himself and his friends and relatives is totally foreign to him.
