As the 39th U.S. President’s 100th birthday appraoches, Jimmy Carter told his family from hospice care that his ultimate goal is to vote for Kamala Harris before he passes.
No, but I’ve read more than enough history and fantasy alike to know the third Polite Southern Gentleman will have rizz for days but something DARK and TRAGIC hiding behind his eyes!
In most circumstances you’d be very right but with the other two parties in this scenario coming fro Georgia and Texas respectively, the third person will never get a word in edge wise, they’re just a seat filler
Oh I know it. I’ve got the heavy drawl and I’ve taken it around the world with me. Depending on who I’m talking to I can crank it up and get by with some shit. I’ve also got that Texas preacher cadence when I need it. You know the one, you get really excited about something then drop it down to almost a whisper while smiling. It makes people lean in and pay attention. Think Kenneth Copeland but as an actual human instead of a devil in a skin suit and without religion at all.
It’s definitely a trick for the snake oil salesman but I’ve seen it so much that I naturally fall into it if I’m presenting. And it fucking works with certain kinds of people.
I know exactly what you’re talking about, I absolutely crank it and pull it back in specific scenarios as called for, my lilt is more on the Andy Griffith/Matlock side of thing’s but it’s wild how much more seriously folks take you when you really put it on
With our good ol boy accents no one will be able to say no to us, and we’ll use our powers only for good.
Dude I’m not in the south anymore and it’s kinda wild how far the accent takes you
Surely this powerful triumvirate can’t go wrong
It’s only a duo at the moment unless you happen to be from Mississippi

Ah.
The motive…
Fuck you dubs buggy!

I really want to hear a conversation between you two as I can only imagine what it sounds like.
Imagine Rust Cohle from True Detective and Rylan Givens from Justified and you’d probably be close
That might be more accurate than anyone realizes considering I know Mrs. Kay.
I know both of those, surprisingly; I’ll check videos to remind me.
What advantages are there when in other places, people trust you more?
It’s not so much trust although that can come into play, it’s more everyone underestimates you because they think you sound foolish.
Edit: also people just straight up want to hear you talk, which does create a level of authority
Your edit really tells the story. It’s amazing how many people just want to hear the accent.
