SMETHPORT, Pa. — Some Democrats here in rural Pennsylvania are afraid to tell you they’re Democrats.

The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge their party affiliation publicly.

Well, doesn’t that suggest that your politics might be wrong?

The DNC is a haunt of scum and villainy.

Unfortunately the RNC is way too full of backstabbing Quislings who want to get along with the evil Democrats and so the go along with them rather than seek the career destruction and humiliation of all elected Democrats.

Oddly, it may convince them more than ever that they are right.

While driving today, I saw an orange KIA with a bumper sticker that said “Biden is Legit.” Believe it or not, I didn’t run the person off the road.

Country people may not all be the sharpest knives in the drawer, but they know when someone hates them. And democrats hate them.

In which case there is no hope for them.

What was it that that Samuel Adams said? Oh, yes:

“Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were once our countrymen.”

“Well, doesn’t that suggest that your politics might be wrong?”

If D’s were to stop f***ing rural America over in every single way, and then searching frantically for more ways to do worse, it would probably help.

Snail darters and wolves and imagined global warming are more important to D’s than people. People in cities have to look hard to see how D craziness affects them. People in rural areas see it in their every day life.

Did you ever see that video of the tree huggers in the forest crying and carrying on? Classic.

What posterity? The Left is killing the unborn as fast as they can whilst importing replacements.

The party’s brand is so toxic in the smaller towns 100 miles north, northeast and east of Gay Frisco, is that some liberals have removed bumper stickers, yard signs and refuse to acknowledge their party affiliation publicly.a

It is amazing how fast those demoRat signs came down and have disappeared even in Californicator land in the past year.

On our side of town, there is a north south road that avoids a heavy traveled high way. Many of the homes were built post Korean war and the owners would be labeled upper middle class people. After the election, probably 60 % of the homes and cars outside had Biden signs/stickers. Now you don’t see any.

There is a similar west/east road by passing a heavy traveled road. There are a lot of apartments and smaller dwellings and condos along that road. The same phenom re Biden vehicle stickers appearing and now disappearing or gone.

My wife gets her hair done at a small shopping center at near the end of this road. We didn’t see a single Biden sticker or sign on 2 miles of road, both ways. It used to look like a democrat parking site.

Republicans have been their partners in that crime.
Unchecked illegal immigration is the existential threat and we can no longer afford to elect Bush League Republicans that support open borders/amnesty.

Amnesty Senators Rubio and Hoeven MUST GO!

Well, Adams didn’t say THEIR posterity; I believe he meant the generic future generations of Americans.

Yeah, us country rubes are just a bunch of morons.

Did you really type that with a straight face?

Or do you really believe that city dwelling leftists are smarter than everyone else?
