New York Times—Alabama’s Disdain for Democrats Looms Over Its Senate Race:
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Anne Stickney does not have many good things to say about Roy S. Moore. She saw as mere “posturing” his name-making crusade over the display of the Ten Commandments in various Alabama courthouses. She has no reason to doubt the recent allegations that, as a man in his 30s, Mr. Moore harassed and sexually assaulted teenagers. In sum, Ms. Stickney has concluded that Mr. Moore, the Republican nominee for United States Senate here, will not get her vote.
But she will not be voting for his Democratic opponent in the Senate election on Dec. 12, either.
“Doug Jones has a good reputation for being a good man,” Ms. Stickney, 63, said. “But he’s still a Democrat.”
Instead, she plans to write in Lee Busby, a Republican and retired Marine colonel, who is running a last-minute write-in campaign.
The outcome of the Senate race here is still anyone’s guess, and a victory for Mr. Jones would not be the first unexpected turn. But old habits die hard in Alabama, and veterans of Southern politics find it difficult to imagine that even this election, one of the most unpredictable in the state’s recent memory, would in the end stray far from the old fundamentals.
“I don’t think the Lord Jesus could win as a Democrat in Alabama,” said Brad Chism, who runs a Democratic communications firm in Mississippi that has conducted surveys of female voters in Alabama in recent weeks. “They’re just waiting for the Republican Party to tell them how they’re going to fix this.”
Mr. Moore was never widely popular in Alabama, even among Republicans; his zealous fan base has been just enough in some past elections, and in others — his two poor showings in Republican primaries for governor — it has been far short of enough. The aversion to Mr. Moore has only grown more pronounced with the outbreak of sexual misconduct allegations, including one that he molested a 14-year-old girl — allegations that Mr. Moore denies.
But distaste for Mr. Moore, while it may lead people to write in other names or just stay home, is for many still not a good enough reason to vote for a Democrat. And here in Alabama, one of the most inflexibly partisan states in the country, where genuine swing voters are few and politics is approached with the same kind of unshakable team loyalty as college football, this is the central problem with Mr. Jones. He has been trailing in recent polls after a spasm of optimism that he could pull off a stunning upset in a state where Democrats have not won a major statewide race since 2006.

SnyderTalk Comment:
It’s difficult for Democrats to understand how angry we are with them and their political party. In New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, for example, they see themselves as superior in every way, but they aren’t smart enough to see their own depravity.
The word “depravity” doesn’t capture the extent of their wickedness. In fact, the words “wicked” and “evil” are lost on them because they suggest morality. That’s another word they can spell but don’t understand.
To people like Hillary Clinton, we are “deplorables”.
To people like Barack Obama, we are the ignorant masses who “cling to Bibles and guns”.
They think of us as Southerners and Red Staters, but that’s just a simple and easy way for them to categorize us. The two maps below are instructive. The first one shows electoral college results by state for the 2016 presidential election. The second one shows the same election results by county.

They are a hodgepodge corrupt and lawless minorities seeking political control in our country. They want to impose their wickedness on the rest of us. That’s something we can’t and won’t accept.
They hate Donald Trump and think that we are his puppets. They are wrong. We elected President Trump because he wasn’t one of them. We chose him. He didn’t choose us.
The difference between establishment Democrats and establishment Republicans in slight. That’s why the Red State designation is inaccurate.
We aren’t Republicans or Democrats. We are black and white, yellow and red, young and old, male and female. We are the heart and soul of America. They live among us, but they are not part of us.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
