I mean if we are gonna look at this realistically, white people in Alabama still overwhelmingly preferred the child molester to the democrat.

Old white people, let's be clear. There are a lot of us here who are progressives and we just scored a huge victory. Look for more upsets. If we can do it in Alabama, y'all can do it anywhere! Take America back!

Virtually 70% of white people in Alabama voted for Moore though. So it wasn't just old white people.
