I have an idea for some communicatin' with all them 'small town' folk....

We should set up some flash crowds for small towns in red states. Only need a few dozen or a hundred or so people to make a real difference. Get a group together and go to a small town somewhere, it doesn't have to be far away. Flood the place with liberals for an hour or two, maybe have lunch by 'taking over' a local restaurant. Wear discrete Hillary gear, or Dem party pins. Be nice, be neat, don't leave trash around or create a scene. Just visit, stay a while and go away.

Might be hard now with winter coming on, but it's an idea worth working on, I think.

Honestly, small town people only care about a few things.

Guns, religion, Medicare/SS, jobs, crime and being left alone.

They're not interested in seeing the country "progress" or be environmentally clean or social issues. They don't care.

I think trying to get more pro gun, pro job campaigning would go a longer way. There is no real explaining to them, they care about their immediate needs and lifestyle.
