I vividly recall the blatant bigotry when JFK was running. But now it’s the academic and entertainment left who are the biggest rednecks. I’m long fallen away but I prayed the rosary for many years and still respect those who do. This is also class warfare just like back in the day. It’s coastal elites who look down on the deplorables in flyover country.
