So do I. In a red state too. It's getting pretty crazy out here in the torpid backwaters. Big-state "Guvment" turns into pure autocracy pretty quickly when the federal government doesn't serve as a Constitutional counterbalance.

Two out of three bubbas (read Republican), including their teenage whelps, fundamentally do not believe in democracy, that people of color, non-Christians, or anyone else deemed insufficient by their standards, should have the right to vote or to participate in a government reimagined by white, radical Christianists.

The slim percentage of middle-of-the-roaders looking to build some mythical third party to solve the serious, underlying problems with American "democracy" -- in the time remaining! -- have convinced themselves they speak for a silent majority, which doesn't exist. They hide behind twisted facts and hopeless dreams in the face of harsh reality.
