The party\u2019s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge publicly their party affiliation. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, those who remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, this is a wee<\/em> mite hyperbolic, since if it was literally so this next guy would be pissing down his leg from fear at the mere suggestion of being quoted in an interview. Which only means that, even in its state of near-Nirvana, the good folks in northwest Pennsy still have work to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,\u201d said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who recently encouraged his daughter to get rid of a pro-Joe Biden bumper sticker. \u201cI feel like we\u2019re on the run.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The climate across rural Pennsylvania is symptomatic of a larger political problem threatening the Democratic Party heading into the November elections. Beyond losing votes in virtually every election since 2008, Democrats have been effectively ostracized from the overwhelmingly white parts of rural America<\/strong>, leaving party leaders with few options to reverse a cultural trend that is redefining the political landscape.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yup, you got it: Racism<\/em>, of course and as always.<\/p>\n

With disadvantages like this, you can be sure that the fraud in the next major election there is gonna be absolutely epic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
