Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? No.

I’ve seen more than my share of “red” counties. They’re only gerrymandered when there’s an obvious threat to red state hegemony. Full of good people who fall for stupid lies every goddamn time despite the world of information available to them. The FoxNews miasma that hangs like suffocating humidity in every auto garage and bleak box store parking lot. The fist of Jesus in every lifted truck window.

Take your “both sides” bullshit to someone else.

Why do you think the Democratic party, once well known as the party of the working class, no longer holds that distinction?

    Blue collar workers overwhelmingly bought Reagans plastic coated flag-waving bullshit and started voting against their interests consistently. By the time Fox News and talk radio rolled around they were completely fucking brainwashed. Still are today.
    
    I don’t see how calling them undereducated buffoons is an argument for or against whether the Democrats have alienated them either way.
    
    And for the record, they were only too happy to vote for flag waving white Jesus over the future of themselves or the country. They alienated themselves.

  because the republican party has split the lower and middle classes with emotionally charged cultural wedge issues.
