Apparently, to an east coaster; once you cross over to the western side of the Hudson, you’re in the back of beyond. Or so I’ve heard.
He was.
Shoot, any liberal could go talk to my in laws who own a roofing company on Long Island (Suffolk County). A simple hour long train ride will get them there.
Jeez, I wish CA would pull the trigger and secede. It would give deluded libs this a guy a true homeland. CA is lot to give up but it’s like the beautiful woman that at some point you realize is not worth the misery. This guy thinks he needs to rent a “sturdy car” and a driver “with serious driving chops” to venture out into Mid-Western wilderness. Good grief what a Nancy Boy. At least he admitted Trump won the country 80% of the counties instead of running the “Russians helped Trump steal the election” BS.
This guy envisions himself as Johnny Appleseed off to meet the turnipseeds
With any luck his car will break down in one of the urban precincts that voted 6 times each for Hillary
A pea green family truckster
Worth repeating.
“It was so perfectly rendered. And it all felt so genuine, which is going to take some getting used to.”
Clueless is right. Should I give him points for venturing outside of his comfort zone?
These people are completely out of touch with the rest of America, so insular is the little bubble they live in. They look at regular Americans the way Jane Goodall looks at gorillas.
But it doesn’t go the other way. It is possible to live your entire life without ever encountering a conservative thought or idea, in places like New York or Santa Monica. They live, work with, watch, listen to, only people they agree with, and they think that what they see is America. But conservatives can’t avoid the Left. It permeates the whole culture, music, movies, TV, and education from K through graduate school. So we know them, but they don’t know us. You see it on any message board where liberals post - their interpretation of conservative views are a caricature through a fun house mirror.
Well put. Maybe this could be an education for this guy. Depends on if he has any honest curiosity or if he’s just out to reinforce his readers’ preconceptions. I’ll give him a particle of credit for passing along the comments of the articulate pharmacist lady rather than some slack jawed yokel.
On the other hand, I think I’ve spotted his angle. He’s not going to do the heavy handed they’re-a-bunch-of-racists thing. Instead he’s going to build the case that red America wants massive “investment” and help from the federal government for their small towns. In other words that they’re a bunch of self-interested fans of big government who are just miffed that they haven’t gotten a big enough slice of the pie.
You can see early signs of this in his reference to Eisenhower and the federal highway system. Also in his quoting of the pharmacist lady who talks of federal investment in small town America. She fit right into his theme.
Ten bucks says that when the writer wraps up the series, his bottom line takeaway will be that the Democrats should run a candidate who indulges the big-government tendencies of the red staters.
“Laboratory Manufactured Snowflake Encounters the Weather”
This would be funny except that the author has no clue what an ass he is and THAT...is sad...
If they had taken a road trip there would have been a vicious and unrelenting push to dump Hillary for a candidate without such a baggage train of skeletons.
I’m okay with people from Boston visiting the USA, but if they’re going to live here, the need to lose the accent and the liberal smugness, not necessarily in that order.
You’re absolutely right about what conclusions this guy will reach. Liberals are nothing if not predictable.

Jeez, what a condescending cuck jackass. I live in an urban area and drive to South Carolina to get to the beach at least twice a year and go into the WV mountains at least once a year. I don’t need a “sturdy car” and a guide to make it through what he seems to think are the ferals who all live there. Frankly, he’s in more danger from the actual ferals who live a lot closer to him in that city.
“...Hick Like Me...”
LOL.
Yep, they’re like clockwork.
I wish one of the natives had captured him and his guide for observation.... while the cauldron was coming to a simmer.
