"This would be a heart-warming story if it wasn’t for the fact that the Leftists want to put us all in concentration camps."

This bears repeating. Any story that omits this fact is just propaganda

You may have missed the point. The story was an appeal to journalists and other east coast political junkies to stop thinking their point of view is the only and most important one, and for them to develop an understanding of what is important to great swaths of people across the country—people who don't much care about politics because they haven't the time—because they are working, they're enjoying it, and it's sustaining to their lives. The piece was written by the best "Studs Terkel" chronicler of the largely pro-Trump working class writing today, Salena Zito.
