Good post!
I was thinking the same. Trump is not just from New York, he’s the greater than life soul of the city, and the progressives are the vermin eating away at it.
And I say this as a person in the “Heart of Dixie”, otherwise known as Sweet Home Alabama.
Years ago, I used to go down to Huntsville, AL for the
Christmas Craft Show at the Von Braun Civic Center with my
mother. - Then, some Progressive came along and redid the
streets and roads down there which created a boondoggle for
years, a traffic nightmare. It got where you couldn’t get
there from here; so in my sixties, I gave up going to that
town. Still have a soft spot in my heart for Alabama, from
a distance deep in rural Tennessee.
