I know what you mean and believe you. But my question is this,, i feel EXACTLY the same about east coast republicans from that city culture. Don’t like em,, don’t trust them. So why are THEY never lectured that they will need to work hard to overcome MY preconcieved notions?
In the case of Christie, Mitt, and other Rinos like them,,,im always lectured about how im the problem because i won’t look at how awesome they would be.
But Sarah is told that she must somehow win them over, they aren’t expected to “get over it” the way i would be with Mitt or Christie.
Interesting little difference,,,
I agree there is a distinct double standard there. IMO the reason the East Coasters don’t feel obliged to accomodate the views of flyover country, while demanding that flyover country accomodates them, is their inherent sense of intellectual superiority to flyover country rubes. Keeps them from ever perceiving their double standard.
