I've lost count of the number of "hayseed focus groups" whose sole intent is the depiction of racist fucksticks as "harmless bumpkins"

See, you shouldn't be concerned about a racist, rapist fucknut in the White House, some of your neighbors love him.

Fuck that noise.

It's like doing a focus group of kidnap victims suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, so they can tell you just how human and normal their kidnappers are.
