[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a total bleeding heart highly educated liberal, and when I see threads like this I totally understand the rise of Trumpism.  You are all a bunch of elitist self-important snobs who think a little money and education makes you better than other people.  No wonder this country is so divided.  I'd hate us too, if I were them.

Shame on all of you.[/quote]

Has your bleeding heart traveled extensively away from major cities. I’m betting your bleeding heart has never driven through or driven into Gary, Indiana. Get off your throne. [/quote]

I've been to Gary.  I went to grad school in the midwest.  And my spouse is from a small midwestern town where I have spent a lot of time, including an extended visit during the pandemic (yes, unlike many of you I get along very well with my in laws despite our differences).

My ire isn't directed at the folks who say Gary is depressing -- I agree that it is.  I'm mainly talking about people who write off entire states because they think they are too cool, too smart, and too sophisticated for them because they live in NoVA of all places.  That's not the way to heal a divided America.
