Worst case scenario: it never changes. There's at least some
evidence (the entire history of the American South and the
ascendency of that population group in our national demographics)
to support this proposition.

Better scenario: It eventually changes as the more-bigoted
generations die off and are replaced by people who have grown
up among minorities, have worked with women in all sorts of
capacities, and have actually known that some of their co-
workers and firends are gay and lesbian.

Best scenario: It changes sooner when people start to under-
stand that all of these "isms" are just tools used by rich
Republicans to keep idiots from recognizing that they are
voting against their own economic best interests. But that
will require many more Democrats speaking out about issues
of economic justice. It might even require waging some
good old-fashioned "class warfare".
