Ohio
Since President Trump’s election, journalists, political scientists and others from across the United States and around the world have visited our little southern Ohio town, population 6,600, to study the natives. Naturally, patronizing local eateries at breakfast or lunchtime is usually part of their itinerary.
We contrast this, of course, with the recent episodes involving Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, both of whom were essentially evicted from restaurants — Nielsen heckled away by customers, Sanders asked by the restaurant owner to leave — for the crime of Trump association, similar to a misdemeanor but quickly approaching felony status.
If Obama or Clinton walked into any restaurant in Hillsboro, they would be treated with respect, even though their politics, lies and defense of the indefensible, as perceived locally, are as loathsome to most people here as Nielsen and Sanders supposedly are to those who forced their exits. No one would shout them out the door, no one would ask them to leave. Instead, they would be asked, “Can I start you off with something to drink?” followed later by, “Can I get you anything else?” with a final invitation to “come back soon.”
The growing encouragement from many on the left and some in the media to define Trump supporters as pariahs or Nazis — including his staff, according to Ana Navarro, and even his voters, according to Donny Deutsch — seems designed to justify and even encourage harassment, intimidation and — then what? The rising McCarthyism of the left will soon lead to the money question: Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Trump coalition?
Intolerant, angry, increasingly confrontational — it is astounding to watch them become that which they claim to despise about the president.

I know I am a Nazi because I’m a Trump voter.
Have at, liberals. Your intolerance sucks.
“Say what you will, but they’re smart enough to know that the Left shouldn’t start a civil war that they can’t win.”
I hope that you’re right.
and..we read Alinsky’s book.
No more free rides..
Speaking of that, where is the Wicked Witch these days...
Oh, she’s out there - still getting PAID to tear down America and President Trump.
Ding!
It is Leftists who seek to impose their failed 19th century secular religion on others. Conservatives and Libertarians want to be left alone. With rare exceptions, they don’t seek to impose on others.
Oh and on a side note, there’s been a big push by the Left for gun control this year......
This is from WaPo? Wow are they waking up?
I say we let the left implement gun control on themselves. An armed leftist is called a terrorist. Just ask Steve Scalise.
Not if you understand lefties. They always project their wickedness onto their opponent. So she was saying that in the crazy unlikely event Trump won, the left would be very angry. You have to take their leftist doublespeak out. Easiest to just negate everything they say.
