 "the people in all those shithole states are the problem"

the irony is amazing
and completely lost on him

 partly true.  america still has a huge racism problem, and the world has a humongous problem with misogyny. 

the states themselves are beautiful country.  all the racists and misogynists inside the red states, ~not~ beautiful.  (there ~are~ non-racists and non-misogynists in thise states too.)

but there is a very high concentration of racists & misogynists in the persistently red states.  if in general, more people in those states were a lot more enlightened, america would have easily ~not~ ever elected a monstrosity like trump, twice.

& if all of america were much more enlightened…if the red states, at least, caught themselves up to being more enlightened, america as a whole would have much higher standards for the kind of people who would come close to becoming president.

they are racist and evil"

youre really good at rationalizing your nasty judgements with sugary words.

"theyre ignorant racist wife beaters but I really *love* them"

enlightened people dont need to make such unnecessary distinctions.

 hopefully you'll learn to own it someday.

otherwise you'll never be an adult. 
 Statists don't want freedom for anybody, they don't even know what freedom is
