Perhaps many of us have learned to blend into the woodwork, or they have taken your advice and moved away. I'm surprised you would recommend that. I'm surprised the Democrats don't take these red enclaves more seriously, since they are prone to break the laws repeatedly, and generally have strong political ties throughout the state. Not even Democratic candidates want to cross them.

Someone has to stand up to them.
