on the Vineyard or in Hollywood.
you’ve sure got me on the ropes!

It doesn't prove anything, because land can't vote. It has nothing to do with a proximity to salt water, it's mostly about urban versus rural. Additionally your map doesn't show % of blue voters in red counties. It's practically meaningless which is why Trump uses it.

its not the saltwater spence. it’s the culture of the people
there, which is different from the culture in middle america. the coasts are where a majority of the swells live, people who think that drinking hot toddies with cashmere sweaters tied around their necks is the zenith of civilization, especially if god plays no role.

in flyover country, they view things differently. they view family, religion, guns, and patriotism, differently. disagree all you want, as the inability to recognize that will
not help the democrats in 2020.



thanks for telling me that land doesn’t vote, though.

the democrats aren’t selling the
notion of two America’s?

fascinating...

so explain obamas “bitter clingers” comment and hilary’s “deplorables” comment?

i see one america, but we aren’t all the same, there are regional and cultural differences. as your side likes to say ( but the don’t mean), diversity is good.

liberals celebrate diversity of everything, except in ideas.

love the notion that only republicans are divisive.
