In reply to the discussion: Obama says rural voices need to be heard in gun debate [View all]riqster
(13,986 posts)36. The stereotyping of rural voters here is sickening
If that sort of thing were directed at, say, women or blacks, all y'all would be marching with torches and pitchforks. But it's apparently OK to dehumanize people who live in rural areas.
And Liberals wonder why so many country folks vote Red. Bigoted fucks, if I weren't well informed, I'd vote against Dems too after all the abuse they hand people like me.
