LA Times columnist Virginia Heffernan is being slammed for a piece in which she compared the “Trumpites next door to our pandemic getaway” in upstate New York — despite their “aggressive niceness” — to Nazi sympathizers and Hezbollah because they backed former President Donald Trump.
The Brooklyn-born writer, also a cultural columnist at Wired, wrote on Friday that her neighbors, “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?” the 51-year-old wrote. “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?”

I do nice things for liberals, but I reject their gratitude.
Someone deserves a flaming bag of dog crap on their porch...
What a rambling piece of garbage.
She’s all over the map literally, insulting anyone she doesn’t
like that still has a pulse.
Why? Her neighbor was nice, did her a big favor.
Shoveling snow is an exhausting task. I think she should
have to shove the driveways of everyone on the block next
snowstorm for penitence.
Love trumps hate. Yeah, right.
Another Harvard grad. NO identifiable job or life skills. Goes on vacations during covid.
All around idiot.
Builds unity every time.
The Prophets of Baal speak again.
“Goes on vacations during covid.”
Guess she’s aware that the ‘rona is a hoax.
Heffalump is a Good German...
Next time, just push the neighborhood snow up against her front and back doors.
The Editors should be fired as well as the hack that wrote it. But alas we know they will now be invited to A list parties on the Coasts.
“ I do nice things for liberals..”
I don’t.
See my tag line.
L
Sounds like a plan.
I’d just ignore her.
One day she may wake up to what a beast she has been.
Wouldn’t waste my time thinking about her.
So being nice means you’re a nazi sympathizer.
The one thing I will say, if I read that article, is that I
would give her wide birth after that. If I had kids, I’d
be very careful not to leave them alone when she’s close
by.
That woman is not only rude and nasty-she is also really stupid...
I don’t know if her getaway is in a rural area-but out here in BFE, if one of the weekend people on the road talked like that about one of her neighbors who actually live here full time, everyone would know about it by dinnertime-no article necessary-she would get an Amish style shunning, as well as not being able to get a neighbor to help her-not even to turn on a garden hose if there was a grassfire, or some stranger wandering around her property-neighbors’ goodwill is important in isolated places-the VFD has to be called to come to a fire-and the sheriff and EMS are 25 to 45 minutes away when seconds may count, so...
I have liberal friends with whom I disagree on things, and everyone is cool with it - but I will never accept someone who is a rigid ideologue who can’t deal with individuals as they are - and above all, speaks and thinks in stupid, fashionable slogans. If someone is that way (95% of the time, its leftists) I cut them out of my life, entirely.
That includes family. Its just easier that way. Life is too short.
