The fact that these people are still here just means we have to keep fighting.

The upside, if there is one, is that this strips these people of plausible deniability. Most of the young people and folks from out of state (our biggest source of in-migration is New York) are not on this wavelength. These sorts of people are increasingly becoming pariahs. The only reason they took the General Assembly was because of an unsusually old white electorate in 2010 that will not be repeated because these people are dying off.
