      Ironically, this is how I got over my "tee hee, le dum dum red necks are in the bread" mentality.

      Oh wait, I actually rely on these lot. Oh wait, some people even classify me as a redneck. Oh wait, not all of them are reactionaries.

      The pets have my sympathy, as do the people that did NOT vote for this bullshit.

    The thing that seals all of this for me, like a bow on a goddamned present, is the "$99 for one year" banner at the bottom. "Please pay us so we can remind you how society is falling apart" is just... I lack the words. It's just so on the nose I'd normally assume I was dreaming.
