10. Yeah, all my partner's down state relatives who won't come to Chicago because of all the "shootings"

They honestly think people are getting shot dead on every street corner.

My partner's sister had to call out a cousin that, on Facebook, wished Chicago would burn down during the upcoming World Series riots (that never happened).

My partner's stepdad was a retired pilot who drove a fully federally subsidized school bus picking up kids from rural homes probably financed with rural/farm loans with Romney signs in the front yard. He would just shake his head.

So tired of the pig headed ignorance and hate coming from rural voters who LOVE America but hate Americans and its government. These people have been coddled for too long.

There's a reason the "black Cadillac driving welfare queen" bullshit resonated with rural republican voters.
