Don't give up on the south, even the Rural Deep South. There are people with working brains in every part of this country, and if we can get them to the ballot, they'll outnumber the fools. Especially when the fools believe they can run this country like a dictatorship, instead of a Democracy.
I don't know... there is hella buncha stupid running rampant in that area. I'm hopeful, but skeptical.
Also, not that it isn't rampant in lotsa other locales, just sayin'... (to coin a phrase)
