Will they post signs? “Don’t Feed the Rednecks.”
Of course, all the L.A. folks move to Colorado or Wyoming for the space and lower taxes. >:(

Oh boy, if this doesn’t scream “elitist-coastal snobs on a condescending pandering mission” I don’t know what would.
The L.A. folks move to Colorado and vote Dem. Like a traveling plague across the country, they bring their liberal politics with them to infect a new area.
Oh, lovely! I love cultural anthropologists. With grits on the side.
I hope they stop by Caro, Michigan and witness a Blue Helmet Shoot.
Let me guess...
They will visit Detroit, Milwaukee and Minneapolis and claim they are in touch with middle America.
“They’re going to mainly Hillary cities in Trump states,”
So they’re going to the places most like NYC that exist in middle America?
I’m sure they’ll visit smaller towns, too ... like Ferguson, Missouri.
Amen! The property values are cheap compared to California and their movement into small-town America is so dynamic that their numbers are overwhelming and changing (for the worse) local government. Please—STAY HOME! CALIFORNIA—LEAVE THE UNION AND LEAVE US ALONE!!!!
Madison WI, Memphis TN, Dallas TX, Austin TX, Houston TX, Jackson MS, Detroit MI ... you know, all of the really conservative midwestern locations ....
I foresee the intrepid reporters at some point in time calling the home office and begging them to send lawyers, guns, and money.

Though many of the cities the group is visiting voted for Hillary Clinton in last year’s election, all but two of the states went to Trump. But Polgreen says they’re not visiting “Trump country,” pointing to a reason for each city or state on the tour like an interesting community college system in Fort Wayne or Detroit’s large Arab-American population. Hillary Frey, HuffPost’s director of editorial strategy who came up with the bus tour idea, also pointed out that logistically it didn’t make sense to go to the corners of the country where the distance from one city to the next would be too far.
The Cloud People condescend to examine the Dirt People. From the safety of their safari vehicles, the khaki-clad Cloud People peer at the strange and fascinating bitter clingers, with their religion and guns, examined bird-watcher-style through binoculars and long telephoto lenses.
Birmingham, Alabama is quite the Democrat / “Black Lives Matter” town, but there are a good number for normal folk there, too.
