A story from the most Republican county in the state

Jackson County ranks as the most Republican county in Kentucky - in election after election after election.

I know Campbell County may have seemed just as bad to many of you, but that's because it has a much higher population density, which lets right-wing garbage become amplified. Statistically, however, Jackson County is worse - especially as the GOP becomes more rural.

Here's a story of a recent disgusting incident in Jackson County:

This incident is a sign of a political milieu that frankly doesn't serve the public very well. I probably don't even need to tell you that, but I might as well drive home this point. When bad politics rules the roost, hateful acts like this always seem to follow.

The same elitist sentiment that drives economic injustice also drives pointless violence such as this.
