Having lived in the south my whole life, and being the other kind of red, I don't think people here are really that committed to the right so much as the right have been the only people talking to them since the 60s. If you can avoid words that are snarl words for them and avoid sounding condescending you can usually bring people around on any given issue. It's more trouble than it's worth most of the time, but you can do it.
