67. Are you denying the existence of many, many racist, gun humping wingnuts in rural America?

I never even knew there was a conflict in this area until I started being called a Big City "Libtard" 20 years ago.

Are normal people, like yourself, in the majority in rural America? I highly doubt it. This is a problem.

That shit went right from RW propaganist media into the ears of the "Heartland".
And way too many bought into it. Who bought into it? The racist, gun humping wing nuts.
If someone can't see what's wrong with what RW propaganda spouts, there is something wrong with them from the start. If they didn't reject that bullshit from the beginning, they're an awful person to the core.
