Jane Smiley had an essay in Slate about the "unteachable ignorance" of the red states that illustrates exactly what you're talking about. If she wants to know why the democrats lost, she should take a look in the mirror.

http://slate.com/id/2109218/

quote: "The history of the last four years shows that red state types, above all, do not want to be told what to do—they prefer to be ignorant. As a result, they are virtually unteachable."

Who knew that being ignorant and being told what to do are the only options? Does that mean democrats are better because they like being told what to do?
