Then WHY move there? Derrrp.


People who need those tins can have them, in the city. you don't hear people from small towns moving to cities and complaining they cannot have a big yard or a tractor.

I think we will see LA and NYC being at least a little less powerful and influential culturally .

I wonder how much Tulemutt and 2sleepy are crying lol

I'm in LA and my office is already buzzing about the idiot rednecks who voted Trump into office and how they can't believe how stupid americans are. I had to remind them they are americans, sort of.

I even heard a few drama queens saying they are dreading what to tell their small children. They are going to tell them that the country is screwed but dont worry because mommy will protect you.

You claim to be educated? A living brainwashed stereotype and a sore loser. I'm actually embarrassed for you.

Quite bigoted and intolerant of them. Aren't these supposed to be the qualities of idiots and rednecks?

LOL

LOL
LOL truth

And about half my colleagues that I talk to voted for Trump so they are spewing their hatred with Trump supporters sitting quietly nearby. These are the type of people that wonder why they are let go when downsizing happens.

They are still going on and on about what to tell their 3 year old about the election. I don't understand why you need to tell your 3 year old about any election. One is actually crying right now, sobbing hysterically about how she will go on in a "Trump world". Is it bad that I'm enjoying this?

Well, it is apparent that you are not very educated. You're just a pseudo-intellectual like a majority of the arrogant liberals living in a bubble on the coasts. You are too clueless to realize that many states that have been blue for DECADES went red this time as a collective F U to the Clinton/Bush mafia establishment. Trump was simply in the right place at the right time. Remove your left coast blinders and you will see what actually has taken place here is a GOOD thing for the country.

Oh, and I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter that voted for Trump in PA!

Bingo! While supposed "rednecks" in middle America are working a trade making real money, owning a home, building equity, saving for retirement, own assets, big trucks and probably some land or property, there are coastal snobs working crappy jobs in the city in debt because of student loans from their worthless liberal arts degree, living with roommates, most of the money goes to rent for an apartment, no real savings, yet they tell people in Middle America how ignorant they are??

Enough is enough. Liberals on the coasts were just hand a big plate of ****, stop running our lives.
