(Liberals) Taking a long road trip to look for Trump’s America (and they find it!)

And that’s why I am here along the banks of the Allegheny River, talking to Hromadik and others like him. I have cowered under the covers long enough. Denial does no one any good. Donald Trump is going to put his left hand on the Bible in a couple weeks and repeat the oath of office administered by Chief Justice John Roberts.

I do not live in Donald Trump’s America, but I aim to learn from those who do. I’ve rented a sturdy car. I’ve enlisted a wingman with serious driving chops. And I’ve pointed myself west to the land Trump found so fertile and tilled with such skill and in a rough-shod style all his own.

"I nearly looked over my shoulder to see if someone from the Trump communications office was getting all of this on film. It was so perfectly rendered. And it all felt so genuine, which is going to take some getting used to. Because back where I live, there you don’t run into many who would say out loud what she just did, even if they think it. And there are plenty of disbelievers who can’t bear the thought of a President Trump."

Clueless in Liberaland.

My advice to liberals... Take a long walk on a short plank.

Good Lord, you’d think he was going on Safari.

[Vaduz]

Liberals are always on a trip it’s why they think like they do.

To many on the left and those that live inside the beltway, it will be a safari.

[txhurl]

The ‘safari’ is only three counties away from any liberal in the US. Have they even seen the by-county returns map?

[Army Air Corps]

For him, it was a Safari. In this guy’s worldview, the world outside his smug Progressive cocoon may as well be Mozambique.

I’ve rented a sturdy car.

Jeez. That sounds so millennial, libby.

If Democrats like this guy had taken a road trip like this in October 2016 instead of January 2017, Hillary Clinton might be president right now ... or at least the 2016 election wouldn't have come as such a surprise to them.

I had taken several long road trips for work from mid-August to early October, covering a total of 20 U.S. states from the Rocky Mountains to the Northeast. If I told you that the Trump/Pence signs I saw in my travels outnumbered the Clinton/Kaine signs by a 200-to-1 ratio, I'm probably underestimating the Trump/Pence figure.

I was able to...

It’s a story about an elitist who knows all taking a trip out to see the poor peasants...

[IronJack]

I’ve pointed myself west to the land Trump found so fertile

"... and I've packed all my prejudices, bigotry, arrogance, and elitist bullsh!t right along with my lacey undies and my wheel of Brie. So, having a mind that closed, I'll likely return to my ivory tower enclave just as confused and clueless as I was when I left. But I'll still be convinced that I'M the enlightened one."

I wonder if he got his immunization updated before he headed into the wild, uncivilized lands west of the Hudson?

I have a great suggestion for these folks searching for America. Ditch the car. Have someone leave you off with $200 and a bus schedule, perhaps on West 25th Street in Cleveland. Figure out how the little folk struggle to make ends meet and try to stay safe. We'll pick you up in six months.

(hint....you're probably well educated. You can sign up to substitute in those public schools you're so find of.)

clueless self-centered idiots who've never had to worry about survival....grrrrr

West beyond Hartford. West over the Hudson River. West through snow-dusted farmlands and tree-studded mountains and along the vast interstate highway system named for another Republican and political newcomer, Dwight Eisenhower.

GASP! Good thing you've rented a "sturdy car" SUV and hired a driver with "serious driving chops."

Bostonians are sure to be on the edge of their seats, it's like a vast hinterland safari.

He rented a car.....and hired a driver. He is. Ol

I do not trust the final election numbers. I suspect massive fraud. The fraud was “supposed to” propel Hillary to a win. It didn’t.
