I find all these things problematic, sure, and it infuriates me to be from a red, Southern state that does, indeed, do all these things. But even assuming election results speak for the general populace (which can be a dangerous assumption, as voter turnouts rarely represent even the majority of those eligible to vote), my state still gave 47% of its votes to Obama in the 2008 election.

Polls generally indicate similar splits on issues of gay marriage, abortion, "teach the controversy," etc. So sure, the majority of our policies are pretty gross, but it is only a very, very slim majority of the people who actually believe in those things -- and no way to tell who, for instance, believes gay marriage is awesome but is strongly opposed to abortion.

So not only are state level politics and legislation a terrible reason to stereotype individuals, but the stereotype isn't even well backed by statistics. You'd need a way larger margin for that to even make sense. Even poor education -- which I will grant exists in droves in my state -- isn't an indicator of lower intelligence or an inability to think critically, so it would be great if we could leave the stereotypes at the door. I'll be down here peddling my atheist, Marxist, feminist critiques of everything in my classy as fuck Scarlett O'Hara drawl, if you need me.
