but it is hardly a reason to celebrate. These people are scary.

I’m tired of the trope that these folks are somehow the “real
America.” According to the 2000 Census, 77% of Pennsylvania’s
population is urban. About 50% of the state’s population lives in two
large metro areas alone, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Fuck all that
stuff about “churches, libraries and sweet shops on their main
squares.” We’ve even got churches and libraries in Manhattan.
