I live in L.A. and I hear it all the time too. They're ridiculous. Some of them are dirt poor living in LA, cramped three to a two bedroom yet they think they're better than someone who owns their own home and is building a nest egg in Iowa. They don't get that huge swaths of the country has developed. It's no longer LA NYC or bust.

And thank you, Master Tominftl, for the proof of further detachment from reality among the Democrats' Kiddie Korps.

Yah. I've known a few New Yorkers who viewed most of the rest of the country as existing to serve NYC. Insular, narrow-minded "elites."

It's no longer NYC or LA or bust. Several states in the middle of the country aren't backwoods.

Do you not get that the coastal liberal elite ARE the establishment. That you support it and your views are gross to the people of America?

This is a result because of YOU.
You can do whatever you want if you stop telling the coast how to live and stop taking out tax dollars. We contribute more than we get back. Blue states contribute more tax dollars than they receive. Red states take more than they contribute. We are tired of paying for you. Go to school, get a job and support yourselves and stop telling coastal people how to live their lives. Go to church seven days a week, we don't care, just leave us alone.

At this point, with this country this polarized, I would prefer the country split. I don't want to subsidize red states anymore. Blue states always give more federal dollars than they receive while red states take more than they contribute. So split the country. I have no use for rural America.
Except she didn't win the popular vote. Per CNN: Election Results 2016

trump - 289
47.8%
votes - 58,207,475

clinton -218
47.4%
votes - 57,750,863

I knew a New York transplant who moved to small town Pennsylvania and sneered at us...called us "ignorant fahmah's". No "thee-AY-tuh". No "deli-KA-tessen". Where does the food in the "deli-KA-tessen" come from?

How silly.

North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, alone have far more coast than California.

And people are moving to these places from the the places you mention because of the great quality of life.

This speaks for itself.

This is why I'm so happy CA got neutered last night. Many libs and illegals there think they can run the country through intimidation and threats and are learning that doesn't work with Americans. Elitists in San Francisco are in a daze. Living in this ultra liberal state, I'm loving this.

Exactly. They live in bad neighborhoods and talk down to people who have nice homes, property and families. They are taught this by liberal elites who want to herd them into the cities to live like in Brazil. You do this by telling them they are hip and special like Beyoncé if they live in a certain area. But they live more like third world than anyone in Iowa. Some even look down on people who DRIVE - those rednecks and their cars. Unreal anyone would buy into this.

Lots of people on the coasts are out of touch with the rest of America.

They are more likely to visit France or England than those American cities

People also aren't aware how other cities have developed .

I was born in LA but have an open mind and have travelled to other cities , not just New York or San Francisco
