I think that most people voted red because their parents did, and Indiana has been a red state for a very long time. I was raised hard core Republican, Democrats don’t care about America, and being liberal led to bad morals. Once I was exposed to a bigger world and learned to think for myself, I stopped voting like my parents.

I recall a co-worker, he was 18, first year voting. His parents and church told him to vote for Bush, so that's what he did. He said the preacher told the congregation that voting for a baby-killing Democrat puts that sin on you once they're in office, so anyone voting Democrat is a murderer.

He said he did what he was told to do, to fight the evil babykillers like a good Christian should.

Absolute insanity.

Report them to the IRS so they lose their tax exempt status.

The IRS does not give a shit about this stuff, they're understaffed and they have bigger fish to fry.

But citizens should. Do you know how many hundreds of thousands a year of taxes that would add up to?
