Culture Wars Are For Cowards Highlight

People just said, “That won’t work, because red state voters are racists/ bigots/ deluded/ brain poisoned by Fox News/ etc.” These people have made the mistake of conflating an observation of current reality with a deep, immutable characteristic. Is the South, for example, full of people who vote for racist, bigoted, delusional right wing politicians? Yes. Are all of those people therefore unchangeable deluded bigots who will never, ever vote for a candidate with better values? Not at all. You need not deny the reality of today to embrace the possibility of a better tomorrow. This, in fact, is the sort of political cynicism that spirals into exactly the awful cauldron of misanthropic politics that America now enjoys.
