Yes we live in red states, but there are thousands of sincere, dedicated liberals here - Clinton and Sanders supporters alike - and we do not appreciate the demeaning and condescending rhetoric that is all too common here.

Agree, most of them are OK but some get a little smart-mouthed or sarcastic in their comments.
