Not so much blind as forcibly persuaded over decades that all Democrats are literally evil, and can only be held in check by republicans. No matter how individually terrible said republicans may be, they cannot be as evil as Democrats.
Acquaintance of mine is an elementary school substitute teacher and Democratic party activist. One day a student asked her if she was a Democrat, and when she answered yes, the student said "Why do you hate god?"
They are indoctrinating the next generation. We have to defeat them at the polls year after year after year FOREVER.
"Blue" in Blue in the Bluegrass refers to my politics, not my state of mind, although being progressive-democratic in Kentucky is not for the faint of heart.
The Bluegrass Region of Kentucky is Central Kentucky, the area around Lexington. It's also sometimes known as the Golden Triangle, the region formed by Louisville in the west, Cincinnati in the north and Lexington in the east-south corner. This is the most economically advanced, politically progressive and aesthically beautiful area of the state. Also the most overpopulated by annoying yuppies and the most endangered by urban sprawl.
A Yellow Dog Democrat is one who will vote for even a yellow dog if it is running as a Democrat. I can't claim to be quite that fanatically partisan, especially since quite a few candidates who run as Democrats in Kentucky are more Republican than a lot of Republicans I can name.
But I do love the story Kentucky House leader Rocky Adkins never tires of telling about the old-timer in Eastern Kentucky who was once accused of being willing to vote for Satan if Satan ran as a Democrat. Spat back the old-timer:
"Not in a primary, I wouldn't!"
Amen.
