I just forwarded the YouTube link to my family members. Living in the DC metro area, I believe he has it dead on. It’s even reflected in the driving habits around here - everyone appears to think they are more important than you are....not in a hostile manner, but infinitely confident that it is true.

Yep. Just because someone is a gopher for Congressman Pantsonfire from Anystate USA doesn’t qualify them as being more important than a tourist driving on the Beltway with a Kansas tag on their car. My daughter lived in D.C. for 6 years and made the self-importance observation.

And in the grocery stores, condo elevators, and shopping centers. I spent 7 months in Alexandria in 2015 and found the DC area to be one vile place to live. I loved the history and beauty of the place, but hated the arrogance and lack of patriotism. I have traveled to most of the lower-48 states and found the DC area to be the one of the few places where being patriotic has negative consequences. Display a US flag or express love of country and you're apt to get flipped off, or told off by some liberal. It's a sad state of affairs for our nation's capital.

How things have changed since my in-laws moved there in 1980.
