Column: What can you do about the Trumpites next door?
Yahoo News via Los Angeles Times ^ | 5 Feb, 2021 | Virginia Heffernan

Posted on 02/07/2021 5:20:07 AM PST by MtnClimber

Your neighbor legitimately deserves your thanks for helping on snow duty, but how much thanks?

Oh, heck no. The Trumpites next door to our pandemic getaway, who seem as devoted to the ex-president as you can get without being Q fans, just plowed our driveway without being asked and did a great job.

How am I going to resist demands for unity in the face of this act of aggressive niceness?

Of course, on some level, I realize I owe them thanks — and, man, it really looks like the guy back-dragged the driveway like a pro — but how much thanks?

These neighbors are staunch partisans of blue lives, and there aren't a lot of anything other than white lives in neighborhood.

This is also kind of weird. Back in the city, people don’t sweep other people’s walkways for nothing.

SNIP

When someone helps you when you’re down, or snowed in, it’s almost impossible to regard them as a blight on the world. In fact, you’re more likely to be overwhelmed with gratitude and convinced of the person’s inherent goodness.

You might end up like the upper-middle-class family I stayed with in France as a teenager. They did not attend a citywide celebration for the 100th birthday of Charles de Gaulle, the war hero who orchestrated the liberation of his country from Nazi Germany in 1944. They did have several portraits of Philippe Pétain, Nazi collaborator, on their wall.

When I screwed up the courage to ask how it was for them during the occupation, the lady of the house replied, “We were happy because the Nazis were very polis.” I didn’t know the word, so I excused myself to consult a French-English dictionary. I was in tears when I found the entry: "polite."

“Our pandemic getaway”

Who gives a crap about all of those not wealthy enough to afford a pandemic dacha and are forced to live in Gavin Nesome’s gulag lockdowns. Typical leftist elite condescending b****h.

Theres a link to her twitter feed in the article. Reading it, shes one piece of work.

Heres her latest tweet:

“Trump absence from Twitter has made political exchanges much richer and more possible - like when kudzu or another predator plant is cut back, and there can be biodiversity again”

On top of that, she hasnt mentioned the name of Biden in two weeks, while she bashes Trump almost every day. You’d think he never left the white house

This article is similar to others I’ve read over the years where some leftist is shocked by someone on the right being nice to them, but at the end of it, the lib type still labels those on the right nazis.

Leftist’s read-only memory, when faced of evidence that doesn’t fit the narrative, always reverts back to the narrative.

I recommend reading to understand how leftist opinion influencers operate.

Indeed. This article reveals the all-consuming hatred the Leftist elite has for President Trump and his supporters. I have never seen anything like it. It's worse than the Left's hatred for President Nixon.

IOW if the neighbor had used a snow blower on his own driveway and left the author with an extra 12 feet of snow on hers and shut her in for days but had voted for China collaborator Joe all would have been Kumbaya....

Like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who spoke eloquently this week about her terrifying experience during the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, Americans are expected to forgive and forget before we’ve even stitched up our wounds.


Uh oh, busted.

A big fat lie (AOC) can be very eloquent to the Village idiots like this author.

Liberalism is so toxic that it even has destroyed liberalism itself. I know there are good people on the left but they are fading and what is rising to the top are the complete scum of society.

Ugh. Liberal “women” are beasts 95% of the time. This thing is no exception. Her husband is likely a big pussy. Yes dear, no dear, would you like quinoa and beef tips again?

Utterly depraved. The guy shoveled her drive, and she says it doesn’t rate any gratitude, it merely leaves the door open for him to grovel at her feet and recognize how he supported Trump, the man who was “murderous” towards half of America.

I hope she dies alone, with her cats.

After this quick look at Heffernan, I’d guess her neighbor would have done her an even bigger favor by teaching her how to operate a manual snow removal device - it looks like she could profit from some regular work behind a snow shovel.

Fourth observation: The author of this piece is human trash, an ingrate who richly deserves her portion of the nightmare which is coming to America.

Trump Derangement Syndrome #TDS is strong and continues unabated with many.
