My sister-in-law claimed she watched the trial, but since I did, I knew she got her information second hand. By the way, their sole source of news is MSNBC, and Rachel Maddow is their darling. They live in Connecticut and although she has made similar statements before, her prejudice was now on full display. She said she dislikes her neighbors, and has nothing to do with them, all republicans she said, and Trump supporters, and maybe even gun totting which motivates her to want to move. She recognizes no degree of prejudice on her part, none. Those people are really all alike and no good. She is not the only one I know who adheres to this perception, and what they all have in common is not just that they are affiliated with the democratic party, but all are well off, highly educated and even before Trump you would define them as elitists. I know quite a few people like this, and all adhere to the same perception of Trump's base. One defined them as an uneducated lot, followers and totally amoral.

I absolutely agree and cannot stand this so called woke culture where they operate in extremes. I don't see it as an approach that will bring about change since it alienates so many. I always thought of myself as more liberal then any of those who proclaim complete loyalty to the democrats and this woke culture. I was always active politically while those who condemn me for my position sat on their asses for many a decade and did nothing. Hypocrites.
Seems to me highly unlikely her neighbors would be Trump supporters. Maybe she likes to imagine herself distinct from them when she’s exactly like them in every way.
They have lived there for about 7 years, and before Trump she referenced her neighbor's politics as republican, but didn't make such an issue of it, but didn't like it either. They have a beautiful home in Conn as do their neighbors. You can't use logic alone to understand the Trump years, and what continues to play out. Here is the last paragraph of a letter a friend picked up from the internet and sent me via email even though I did not vote for Trump and was a registered democrat. However I didn't vote for Clinton due to her very hawkish nature. I'm very anti-war.
" It wasn't your politics I found repulsive. No, it was your willingness to support someone who spouts racism, sexism and cruelty almost every time he opens his mouth. You side with a bully when it should have mattered most and that is something I will never be able to forget. So in response to your post-election expression of hope, no, you and I won't be coming together to move forward. Obviously, the president-elect disgusts me, but it is the fact the he doesn't disgust you that will stick with me long after the election." I ended that relationship even though I knew her since we were 12 because other condemnations of me preceded this one. This is someone who would define people as winners or losers while we were growing up and continued to do so as an adult. Trump became a good scapegoat for many people, as did his base. I'm surprised they didn't send Trump and his base off into the wilderness, or maybe they did.
"It wasn't your politics I found repulsive." - followed by explaining how exactly the politics of being reasonable and staying away when called for is what she found repulsive.
I can't figure out the basis for the trust in our government. A government that puts the mentally ill in prisons/cages, borrowed Trillions to spend on a 20 year boondogle in the Middle East, is run by politicians who spend the majority of their time begging for money, eleminated all good paying jobs by outsourcing to China, claims their voters are racist and blames everyone but themselves for their failures. I can seldom discuss these issues with anyone I know since none of them read or are informed enough to engage in a meaningful discussion. Refusal to comare viewpoints seems to have become endemic The reluctance to discuss solutions for our problems has become the biggest obsticle we must overcome.
The few who govern the many, who are the easily placated complacent. I rather think we've hippies, turned yuppies, turned corporate lobbyist, podium politician's or mass maniac media spokespersons. All well compensated echo chambers. They should have inhaled; recollect president Bill C. Whatever happen to that Winter Soldier Vietnam vet attraction? John Kerry?
Unless “they” watch the trial, they are smothered inside the suffocating propaganda of the well groomed mass media & their shiny perfect white teeth.

The campaign to demoralize heritage America was wildly successful.

I know, and the whole four years was crazy and full of contradictions.
