You know, they don't ALL have to be redneck assholes.... just a majority of the voters.
There are so many vile slick tactics the GOP uses to do that.
If you don't mention party labels in a conversation, most people agree on wallet issues as far as cost of living. Social issues are how they keep pulling that scam. My own mom agrees with me on just about everything, but then when I ask her "Then why do you keep voting republican", she shuts down and says "I don't want to talk about it". John can say the same thing about his own family and co workers where he lives too.
