Not Just Yet

I think it has to be obvious to most of us that there's a substantial chunk of the deep south that's still pretty fucked up in the head.

But once in a while we see that faint glimmer of hope.

Patricia Murphy, Daily Beast:

B.L. Shirley is a Republican woman from a Republican county who always—always—votes Republican. And yet, on a windy, grey morning last weekend, the Talladega, Alabama, retiree found herself in, of all places, a Democrat’s campaign office, wondering just what she could do to defeat the GOP candidate running for a seat in the U.S. Senate from her state.

“Roy Moore,” she said, when asked why she would go canvassing for Democrat Doug Jones before the special election on Dec. 12. “I think Roy Moore is an impostor. I am a Christian and I don’t want to be counted in his camp. He’s a divisive person.”
Things change when we change. And they change for the better or for the worse according to how we change ourselves.
