    Fuck 'Em

    If they're not ready for the 21st century that's their fucking problem. The rest of the country won't be held hostage by the ugly, racist, backwards-ass beliefs of a bunch of broke-ass losers. Let them keep voting for the GOP who only screws them anyway. If they can't see beyond their racism and xenophobia and bitterness to see who actually offers them the best program to address their economic interests, then they're too fucking stupid to care about anyway.
