Oh, boy. North Georgia is Marjorie Taylor Greene country, isn't it? No wonder you felt it was myopic. "We're much more than we're portrayed" is a good way to put it.

Yes, Georgia has Greene. But look at who your U.S. Senators are now. And Joel Ossoff won by bucking the age-old view that to win you had to court rural North Georgians. He won in part by wooing young urban voters with one of my all-time favorite campaign slogans: "Vote Your Ossoff" :).
