In reply to the discussion: From a resident of "one of those states" like AL, KS, TX, MS etc. [View all]Indpndnt
(2,391 posts)23. I hear you. This is the same nastiness flung around DU after every election.
I was here on DU from 2003-2008 until right after the election. Put up with the crap about red states in 2004 and finally had enough in late 2008. Now that I'm back with a new ID (lost the old one), I find the same familiar names, and a whole lot of new ones, making the same familiar 'jokes.' And if we don't find those 'jokes' funny, we have no sense of humor.
Pathetic.
Substitute another group of people in these 'jokes' and let's see how funny they are.

Except for the fact that most DUers do not specify 'stupid red state people'.

I agree with you totally, but a broad brush is a favorite tool used here not only in your case.
