Unfortunately, conservatives will never move to the cities and colonize which is why those of us here are under such stress. Imagine NYC a conservative city! We would dominate the country! But there is so much hatred among conservatives towards cities that it is worthless to pursue. Which is interesting because liberals, who we disdain as cowards, had no trouble moving into NC, SC, Georgia, FL and TX in an attempt to change it.

I used to live close to the area she’s at and know this mentality well. There’s a simple word for it: snobs.

You can find conservative snobs but it’s a lot more common to find liberal snobs, who are exactly ike this woman describes. Their basic problem is they think they are better than eveyrone else (except for fellow snobs of course, who they will grudgingly admit to be equals, more or less).

And as long as you’re willing to play the game, they will be your best buddy and pal. But once they catch you crossing the unspoken boundary, they would “unfriend” you long before that was an actual thing.

I lived there in the Reagan years so it was pretty easy to find out who your true friends were, and which ones only liked you as long as they thought you fit into their world view. Now that this mentality has gestated into a new generation, it’s going to be fun watching a lot of snowflakes melt.

From an Oregon native friend, this is what happened in Oregon over the last few decades. The Leftists are concentrated in the Willamette Valley and the coast. The rest of Oregon hates that this formerly sane, Conservative state has turned so blue. But the Leftys don’t care and they rule the roost, for now.

Liberals are mentally warped.

They are filled with hate for those who don’t share their worldview. And can only discuss other views in the context of hatred.

“There is sort of a baseline assumption of common sense and decency that’s been thrown into question in a way I never expected it to be,” she said. “And it’s a struggle. You have to continue to interact with people, and you have to wonder: Do you really have hate in your heart in this way? Really? At the core, I didn’t believe this about us.”


She makes a good point for conservatives. Many conservatives look at how liberals are, protesters, etc. and we wonder, do you really have hate in your heart this way? Do you really hate anyone who isn’t on board with global warming, homosexuality, transsexual bathroom access, Obamacare, and all the rest???

I agree with her statement, but I come at it from the opposite ideological political direction...........

The liberal branding includes smart, educated, rational, tolerant, “compassionate” in her words, moral.
And it lets them smear everyone else as at best ignorant (with the built in assumption that of course all good and smart people agree with me), otherwise stupid, crazy, evil.

Dennis Prager had a video before the election “immigrants, don’t vote for what you fled”.
I’d say that to these leftists. Don’t sit there and demean the political views put into practice that created the community you chose to move to.

This is a microcosm of the entire "progressive" mentality. The extremist, twisted, perverted agenda they define as "moderate" is, in fact, so far out of the norm that regular people simply can't identify with it anymore. It appeals only to a lunatic fringe of gripe-holders, posers, pseudo-sophisticates, and elitists who would feel comfortable in Louis XVI's court.

They look in a mirror and think it's a window.

“New York City! Get a rope” It’s the reason Pace’s commercial hit the spot.

In our sparsely populated county the Easterners have long tried to change our culture.

I grew up in that area, graduated from Durand High School and then joined the Air Force. In the article was a statement that I've found true throughout the rural America that I've visited during my enlistment;

"But the only thing that surprised John Andrews, the disgusted Democrat-turned-Republican, was that other people were surprised.

“It’s so simple,” he told me. “The people here are good, honest, down-to-earth people, good citizens. The elitists, they don’t understand. … If they would get out and talk to the working class, they would understand.”

These people don't vote 'D' or 'R' because of genetics, they vote their conscience and they didn't like what the Democrats have done.

I worked in Pepin County over the last 30 years and can vouch for some of the stories of the “smug and superior progressives” that moved in from the Minneapolis area. The Sheriff is a good man and has them pegged accurately.

My best gotcha on one of them happened when he wondered how his personal data had been hacked. He almost cried when I asked him if he had signed up for obamacare because all that personal data was mishandled. Maybe hillary was using the same server.

Liberals leaving the Liberal Cities and States are like Cancer Cells breaking off from the main Tumor.

They infect the rest of the Body and form more Tumors.

As an example, look at the Californacation of once sane Colorado.

It’s just like the Muslims in Europe, but they don’t just move to those Countries, they simply out breed the locals and the idiotic Governments pay them to do so. Suicide.

...author Michael Kruse makes a convincing case that the smug cultural superiority of progressives has a lot to do with Trump’s unexpected win in rural Wisconsin.

I think it's why President Trump won anywhere! We're ALL sick and tired of the liberals looking down on 'Jesus people', and anyone who didn't attend an Ivy League school.
