The people there will never leave the Republican party. Never.

There is no argument that could convince these people to vote democratic. Because these people vote by guts, not by logic. That's how Trump won rural America: By appealing to their guts and making fantastical promises.

Alabama is red. Alabama will stay red forever. Republican policies will kill people. And the people of Alabama will still vote republican. There is nothing anybody can do about that. And I refuse to get my panties in a twist over an unwinnable cause.
