Maybe people should embrace diversity, agree to disagree, and stop forcing their views on others. Democracy was never meant to legitimize oppression of minority views. The "heartland" is also biased to things like food production and military service to defend the rights of all (including the "coastal majority"). Probably not a good idea to unnecessarily stir the pot and risk secession or civil war. A little understanding, compassion, and tolerance goes a long way.
