“You have two choices in NYC: get insulted by the Left or become a hermit.”
Three choices. I call them idiots right to their faces. They cannot handle it.
Actually, there is one more choice before you buy the bus ticket: Join all the conservative clubs and meetings that you can and spend your time with like-minded people.
That eliminates the Republican clubs and the like. The chance for them to make believe they are superior to someone like Trump was too much for them to ignore. I still go when they have a real conservative speaker; that brings the hard right out of the woodwork.
