People here north of the Mason-Dixon Line like to lob shit at rural voters who cast ballots against their own interests. Gotta ask, though, is there anything more idiotic than an NYC voter? You wanted law and order, and you got it, good and hard, with a predictable dose of corruption. Dumbasses.

it's a shame no one could have foreseen this or warned about it
