I love how half of you believed this was serious. Democrats are successfully turning white people from the heartland into "others". People who don't count and aren't normal.
I can't speak for anybody else, but the fact that it wasn't obviously marked as satire confused me rather than convincing me, because I
know people with Mike Pence-y religious views and know
precisely that they tend not to actually be unhinged.
I agree that the sort of coastal liberals with whom I spend most of my time are smug and sneering and supercilious and rub off on one in really unpleasant ways, especially if one is (on paper) 'on their side'.
