The Democratic party doesn't give a shit about them. HRC made that abundantly clear when she essentially called these people a basket of deplorable. The DNC and the Democratic Elites including the ethnic ones live in their own urban coastal bubble.
As a dark skinned homosexual black man I've received more bigotry and racism at the hands of so-called liberals than from any of the deplorable red necks I've been known to run with.
Pretty much sums up one of the major issues with the Democrats.
One of the things I always liked about the red necks is that unless you are messing with them they are perfectly content to leave you along. Liberals and progressives appear to be genetically incapable of leaving people alone. The open hostility they have to, among other things, Christianity is one of the the reasons Hillary lost. Say what you like about Trump, he is not openly hostile to Christianity.
Well their politicians oppose abortion for one and want to apply that to everyone. There are others of course but that is one in particular that affects someone in a personal way and on top of it I hear they want to force them to cremate or bury the body. I would consider that a sign that they cannot leave people alone regarding their morality being pushed onto another. Does it apply to individuals who vote right wing? No. Same as left wing. Does not apply to all. But their leaders are both guilty of this. You have said so yourself to me. Neither side gets out of this scot free.
You know there are libertarians that have a problem with abortion as well? Harry Browne comes to mind, now that I think of it. I suggest that you read about the various libertarian perspectives on the subject. You might want to listen to Stefan Molyneux talk about the subject might help you understand why I don't consider the Christian position on the subject as an a priori reason to be hostile to red necks.
In the final analysis red necks tend to be far less intrusive than liberals and progressives.
