110. I dunno
but here it comes back again?

Yup ... and there it goes ... another sorry attempt to make somebody (who??) believe that someone said something s/he never said ... 'cause NOBODY EVER

"called 8 million plus people right wingers only because of the states they live in".


There are some quite wealthy people in the most desperately impoverished countries in the world. I wouldn't consider it inaccurate (let alone insulting) to refer to the countries in question as "desperately impoverished". Would you?

In fact, although I have an income way up in the rarefied percentiles of the population, I live in a postal code that, at least until the last census, had one of the lowest average incomes in Canada. Is my census tract "low-income"? You betcha. Will I pitch a fit if someone describes the neighbourhood I live in as "low-income"? Hardly. Would I attempt to portray that description as calling me a low-income person because of the neighbourhood I live in? Take a guess.

And when I look at a place where, less than 4 years ago, 4 out of 10 people who cast votes voted to maintain a constitutional ban against interracial marriage (which had to have come from somewhere in the first place, plainly), "right-wing cesspool" doesn't strike me as too far off the mark as a description.
