People who are enjoying the benefits of Trump’s policies don’t need to, or want to, spend their lives attending marches and protests. They are living thier lives, working their jobs, raising thier kids, paying their bills. They’re not in the closet. They’re living normal lives, which is what they wanted to do in the first place. I think that’s where they go when the election is over. They’re not 24/7 political Borg Cube members like the left is.
Admittedly that has a down side because the left never sleeps. They continue the onslaught, which is how this country got to where it is today. I’m not sure what the answer is to that problem. Just some thoughts about your statements.
I travel to the liberal "big city" college town about 30 miles away occasionally to go to the VA or run errands for the farm.
But I have to say that folks don't talk politics much around here at all. They ARE too busy living their lives and making a living for them and their families.
Except for reading the news on FR, I would be in the dark about politics at all because politics is not what people talk about when you run into them. Not surprising to me, is the lack of interest in the goings on in DC at all. People are focused on their livelihoods, not the latest liberal rantings and wailings about separating children from their "parents" in the immigration news this week.
All of the turmoil and conflicts going on in the urban centers in this country is foreign to those of us who live regular lives outside the big cities. It is almost like reading about a foreign country sometimes.
Admittedly, I don't engage with liberals because everyone I know is a conservative or is non-political. We talk about our cows mostly and the weather. How much rain were getting to keep the grass growing for the cows to have something fresh to eat. We talk about the "green" disease that's killing our citrus crops. Or the new zero-turn lawnmower or tractor we just bought. Or how to treat a sick calf or an injured cow. But politics is never part of our discussions.
I don't hide my support for Trump but "coming out of the closet" is not something people get excited about. The machinations of the political world seem far away when you have more important chores to attend to everyday.
The solution is to use everything they throw at us to our advantage. :)
