The REAL issue for rural voters is that they don't give a flying fart what people in urban areas do as long as people RESPECT their rural lifestyle. Rural people HUNT for food and it's IMPORTANT to them so they can feed their families. Rural areas have FEW jobs to the point that people with college degrees have to compete for a damn job flipping burgers at McDonalds. The economy FUCKING MATTERS. It's not all about a 100% focus on LGBT rights, being able to legally get high for the fun of it but more and more every election it becomes more and more about ONLY these things while completely neglecting those rural people who have no jobs and have to go on welfare to survive when all they want to do is work and provide for their families. Keep demonizing those rural voters who are NOT opposed to all those other values liberal urbanites care about and keep right on LOSING.

Getting so SICK of this shit...seriously.

And before there is a virtual pig pile on me for speaking the goddamned TRUTH...

NO ONE IS SAYING those other issues don't matter. I am saying OTHER SHIT MATTERS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
