About when ordinary people put decency before politics.

Reinforcing the stereotype of Democrats as being elitist snobs who look down on "hicks" and "hillbillies".

There are progressive Democrats in trailer parks, rural small towns, and farmhouses.

I know some of them.

And registration to any party is not a prerequisite for being a good person or standing up for what is right.

Enough already.
