Smile of the Week: A Liberal Anthropologist Goes Searching for "Trump Country"
Just start with the first tweet and keep on going.
Now, some of you might already know the twist here; I'm curious for the ones who don't know, when did you figure out the twist? It took me three or four of these entries, each increasingly unbelievable and Bias-Confirming, before I started to wonder about things. Here Jesse Brenneman announces his mission, which is to heal the country by understanding Trump voters. Then he spazzes out about Hillary losing the election. Here he comments on Trump Country radio, noting that all the stations are country, talk radio, and Christian, except those that aren't. But that's just setting the table. His observations on dining habits in Trump Country are astonishing. He is flabbergasted by yet another strange culinary sign that he's not in Kansas any more. (Actually he's in like Indiana.) Further reports on the strange and wondrous signs and shibboleths of Trump Country. He really gets it now. While he grows weary in his travels, he is spurred onwards by the wokeness of a babe. He reports on the strange folkways and superstitions of Trump Country. Jesse Brennenman, whose entire odyssey is spent on highways and in highway rest-areas, draws some very dubious conclusions about the highly mobile lives of Trump Country people. Once again, he's flummoxed by Trump County restaurants. This one might confuse Noted Outdoorsman and Working Man Jonah Goldberg, too. Having earlier made the novel realization that there is not One America but, get this, Two Americas, he now just elevates beyond physical limits and decides that no, there are three Americas. He is alarmed by the sight of strange rainbow-stripe flags in Trump Country, and wonders what perverse meaning they might have on these dark shores. Trump Country is dangerous and it takes an intrepid reporter to dare the darkness.I don't actually get this one, unless this is a big old Wink directed only at me (and most of you). Finally, he looks at the bizarre media available in Trump Country, with DARK MYSTERIES OF POWER coded right into its front pages.

Satire's hard. I fuck it up quite a bit. You have to walk a fine line. Subtle enough that it's funny - because the subtlety is the funny - but obvious enough that people get it.
Subtle, get this, is not in my wheelhouse.
Sarcasm I can do all day long - but not Satire. Satire is like a Golf Swing to me.

(Same guy checked with me as I wasn't eating at the restaurants.) I met some really nice folks in Wyoming. At one point, in Kansas, it was me, the driver and one other person on the bus.

Ace traveling from commenter's place to place, feted at MoMeets, being introduced at the mysterious M. Acé de pique. Given comely French 201 sophomores to act as a translator. Meeting the local potentates as someone who wants to form an online business.
Learning the way of the sniper and how to down pine tree forests with an AR-15 at a secret base camp in Weasel-Virginia. Mastering "The Way of The Shiv" from bluebell, and incidentally finally getting his personalized copy of The Deplorable Gourmet
Gainzzz + 6.022 x 10²³ with Iron Mike Golf. Thrash metal onstage with Bandersnatch. Country as the guest vocalist with teej.

The guy is obviously an annoying sufferer of Asperger's, as is clearly demonstrated by day 6 ( or whatever ) where his obviously long-suffering wife insists on sleeping in another bed due to headache (or whatever).
The other shining moment? Where he wrote:
"I am writing a book with my "conservative" friend where I can talk about my liberal ideas (science is real! And science-ey!) and his icky Conservative ideas (There should be no minimum wage, the federal government should be nuked till it glows, the world is flat and all people of color should be put in cages and later released in my game park for my hunting enjoyment! Let's masturbate! Yay!)."
Heh ~ I want to shake this guy's hand and say "thanks! Thanks for really and truly trying to learn about "Trump Country." God bless and Godspeed.

Busted my leg real bad on a jump when I was Young Ranger Sluggo in 2d Batt. After some surgery, I got a 30 convalescent leave. So I flew Space-A with USAF outta McChord to Wright-Pat. Some small executive type jet. USAF 1 star and some congress critter. Had a USAF Chief Master Sergeant also going Space-A. I was a runny-nosed PFC. Travelled in Class A's, jump boots and black beret, of course.
Got to Wright-Pat and the Chief MSgt took me to Dayton airport. All closed. So I ended up spending a few hrs at the Greyhound terminal. There was a station in my home town (ticket window and a bench by the curb), but I was in a leg cast and on crutches, so the driver detoured and dropped me at Mom's driveway.

Of course, he himself is driving on the highway, eating at highway rest-stops, and stopping to get gas.
And this is his perception of "Trump Country." That is, he doesn't get that what he's seeing isn't representative of Trump Country, but of people driving long distances cross-state, and he doesn't get that the reason he's seeing these people is that he himself is looking for Trump Country ONLY on the interstates.
So what else would he see but cars, highways, and rest-stops and gas stations?

Just guessing, but I'd think CO is a place where a GOP that was worth anything, that stood for something, that offered a specific better alternative, would still have a shot at state-wide offices.
It seems to be universally the case that people fail to take account of how awful the CA GOP has been when trying to understand how a gigantic state like this is essentially a one-party state. It's not just the electorate changing, it's the GOP ceasing to be any sort of real alternative.

This is not a normal time (even in the sense of the last 15 years). There's a chance that it will become politically wise for many people to cooperate with Trump, so having an otherwise useless GOP governor is *vastly* superior to having a confirmed useless Dem one (and isn't the idiot gun-grabbing lying sack of s**t the one running for re-election, or was he termed out?).

The Leftie Sodomite is also guaranteed to be a globalist. It ultimately comes down to whether you want a communist-globalist or a 'manage the decline' globalist. I think it's a better choice to vote for a managed decline over an accelerated one if no other (realistic) options are available.

Actually, libertarians pretty frequently are proponents of Big Judiciary as the priests of the Holy Writ of the Constitution, as not just a plan and agreement for the federal government among sovereign states--but as the liberal progressive seat of morality it has become.
And everywhere government has enlarged, it has done with first the expansion of the federal court's jurisdiction over the states. After all it was Chief Justice Taney that overturned the State of Illinois prerogative to make anti-slavery laws based on the theory that the founders had never intended black people to be citizens--and he was going to enforce that "intent".

Biggest grassroots political earthquake in a century or more - and the beneficiaries (largely) just brazenly betrayed their voters.
Some wise observer noted that it would take more than just one or even two elections to change America's direction. I think today if he were honest, looking at 2010 and after, he'd say it'll take 8 to 10 (!!!) *earthshaking* elections to do it (i.e 15-20 years).

Gracie asks George how come she only gets to spend 1/4 of their money. He explains it's due to California's community property law. Half of mine is yours, and haf of yours is mine. Show me again, George.
He grabs 4 cigars. Ok, Gracie, half of mine is yours. And he gives her two cigars. And half of yours is mine, so he takes one back, leaving her with 1 and him with 3.
She says, wait a minute, let me try that. So she gets 4 cigars. And says, let's see, half of mine is yours, and gives George 2 cigars. An...and George interrupts quickly an days, and half of yours is mine, and grabs the other cigar in her hand.
She says, oh well, you're right George, it works both ways, it must be frustrating having a wife who doesn't understand these things. He looks at the camera with a shit-eating grin.

It's a little different though, they are supposed to believe in the wisdom of the Doctrine of Incorporation. If anybody should suffer the judges eclipsing their power, it's the states that vote for and promote activists judges who brought us the Incorporation Doctrine--that ignores the actual provisions of enforcement of the 14th amendment cited in the 14th amendment and turns "rights" on its head.
However, I can't but conditionally advocate that because I still don't like judge intervention.

If your state's governor's race was between Leftist radical sodomite with a 99% chance of winning, and a member of the Bush family, do you vote for governor, or just keep your f'in dignity and skip it?

EASY.
The only question you ask when you're voting is "What makes Lefty cry?" WMLC?
It doesn't matter if the best bet to beat Dem candidate is a Bush or not. Doesn't matter if he's a Stalinist, certifiably insane, or a serial killer. If he wins, Lefty cries.
Forget HOPE! Or your precious principles. Get real.
Vote for spite.

In a hearing Monday, a New Mexico judge found that suspects in a bizarre child abuse case were not a danger to the public, and released them on bond.
Defense attorney blames Islamophobia
Two Muslim men and three women are charged with 11 counts of child abuse each after police raided their compound in New Mexico and discovered 11 malnourished children living in squalor.
Their lawyer argued that there was a double standard in the case because his clients were Muslims. He argued that if they had been Christian and white, "we might not be here today."
Despite law enforcement authorities saying that they believe that the children were being trained to attack innocents, and that the adults were radicalized, Judge Sarah Backus released the suspects.

Hummm, "epic"
Mid 1980's - I took many Greyhound trips alone between two southern cities - it was uncomfortable and slow, but not scary - acceptable since I couldn't drive at the time.
2017: My husband took Greyhound on the same route - it was much different. The bus station staff, driver and riders were all - uh - lowest common denominator types - barely functional, barely competent, fights and lots of yelling/arguing on the bus. Very uncomfortable situation.
Let's just say that we have ruled out Greyhound as an acceptable transportation option. Maybe in rural areas it is better.

voters is when they have to hold seminars on how to speak
with people in "flyover country." To the people who hobnob
with billionaire donors, the common man might as well be
speaking a foreign language. The modern Democrat party
has taken it to such an extreme level they now hold the
American people in contempt. Obama's bitter clingers
and Hillary's deplorables should have taught them a
