Take this shirt for example, which ridicules the latest rumors of a secession by the blue states, an idea I support heavily.

Look a little closer.

This shirt reveals what the gist of the conservative majority (actually a minority if the youth exercised their right to vote) believes. They despise the left-to-center majority in this country; they despise the coasts; they despise intellectual centers and science; they insist Jesus is (or was, however that works) the christ and anyone who doesn't agree with that belief system is going to hell. These far-right religious fanatical conservatives make up the supposedly all-powerful and all-knowing middle-America ("the heartland," some call it). What they actually in-fact do make up, however, is "fly-over country."
