[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved from a very liberal city to DMV. My kids also went to a diverse school in the old city and now in the DMV.  I had lived in DC before so this concern wasn't an issue.  I think one thing to note is that politics in DC is like sports in other places. Trump is a no go pretty though, particularly since a lot of people are federal workers and swore oaths to the constitution.

I also moved from a liberal city to the DMV.

What I'm struck by is how many crazy ideologue conservatives there are here.  They get parachuted in from rightwing bubbles to work for Republicans and Republican think tanks.

The kind of true-believers that come to DC to work for the GOP or work at places like AEI or with Grover Norquist simply don't exist elsewhere.  Take Chicago, or LA, or even New York.  They're all like the DMV in that they have lots of smart people, lots of educated people (liberals in the US today.)  And they have their share of selfish, lower-my-own taxes, I-got-mine-screw-you conservatives.  But the "I deeply agree with John Roberts that the US is no longer a racist country / I read Jonah Goldberg" types?  So rare as to be people you never meet in other cities.  They get concentrated here in DC because the billionaires import them to staff the GOP and AFP and similar.[/quote]
