I'm in a deep red state. I'm poor, angry, but well educated.

I was raised to care about and respect others no matter their background and upbringing. I'm a social Democrat supporter. So what does that make me other than an anomaly.

It frustrates me to no end when people paint all the people in red states with such a broad brush.

You are not the problem.

What I said about red states is true. The states have those rankings, not every single individual.

I am also poor and angry. And educated. With an upbringing that taught empathy and service to others.

I sense an important theme here.
