Example #1,456 of why Trump won the election
So….saw on twitter this weekend where a liberal CEO of some company I’ve never heard of (marketing company apparently) decided to give the rest of us advice on how to be less offensive to people like her.
First of all, how can anyone so devoid of self-awareness be any good at marketing? Secondly, I think I can speak for most Americans that don’t live in a progressive coastal Meccas and say that making our “town a place that people like us want to live in” is pretty much the opposite of what we are trying to achieve. We would in fact prefer that “people like you” keep your opinions to yourself and the progressive, “diverse”, cesspools you live in away from our tax dollars. You may be surprised to know that we don’t like “people like you” or your condescension, and that economically we are doing pretty damn well partly due to the companies fleeing your state in droves. So, thanks but no thanks for the advice. That and 3 bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. (I’m sure you hate that as well)

Haha that’s true. I remember a few years ago it snowed on Christmas and the sanitation union was also renegotiating their contract, so no one showed up to plow the streets for a few days. The city was paralyzed. I think some people died because the ambulances couldn’t get down the street. I was thinking, no one has a shovel? If half the people on each blocked shoveled they would have the streets cleared in no time.
Mel.
Please stay in San Fran and enjoy all things that are Progressive. Like Freedom of being more equal than everyone else.
I live in a rural area and it’s nothing like what this Melinda describes. It is beautiful and filled with nice, hard-working people. Maybe she and her liberal friends need to get out more — way out — and learn about what they don’t know before they criticize.
Wouldn’t work. There is no room service in a campground.
That would mean admitting they don’t know something. Everybody knows people on the coasts are the smartest people in America.
OK, all is well.
That’s one of the things I said to her in my little LinkedIn email.
They think all of rural America is like the worst parts of Appalachia or the antagonists from Deliverance.
There has to be a way we can use this. Maybe start referring to Deliverance as a documentary?
Even the worst part of Appalachia is not as bad as the libs believe it to be.
I’d sooner walk that entire Trail alone than some parts of NYC and Chicago.
These are all generated by the same algorithm from a conservative trying to prove that liberalism is a mental disease. It’s the same guy who created the virtual Keith Oberman. He got the voice and look just right, but the virtual Oberman is so over the top it’s not credible. If these things were real we’d have to lock them all up.
Pro-Tip: “Founding partner of marketing consultancy” is just the LinkedIn/Silicon Valley version of “unemployable white person who cannot hide in academia.”
Ahh, San Franciscans. So smart, wise, inclusive, and kind, but only to the homeless they walk past. And people of color. If you are a contributing member of society who votes R… say goodbye to dinner party invites and job offers.
I loved her first sentence…I thought, “Yes! No intelligent person wants to live with idiots in a s$&@hole…and that’s why we left San Francisco after more than 20 years!” Now we are trying to help keep Nevada purple (at least) and not blue.
They also don’t tend to identify themselves first and foremost as racial and/or political beings. They identify from within an in-tact family and as a member of a church and community. I’d love to see a study that researches minority family structures in urban vs non-urban areas.
The Left is beyond parody.
She seems nice.
Or maybe she could change progressive enclaves to change so that black people would like to live in them instead of moving to the South.
Okay, a question I’ve long had, and this seems as good a time/place/opportunity to ask it as any.
Why is “people of color” ok, but “colored people” is horrendously racist?
Just a guess: “Colored” is what they put on the “colored” drinking fountains in the South, for the “colored people.” As opposed to “people of color,” which, you know, is a self-identification.
I don’t get it either.
Especially since it’s the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. But maybe it’s that only people of color can call themselves colored people.
It makes as much sense as any other liberal hysteria.
I’ve been asking this for years and still haven’t gotten a straight answer.
FIFY

How blind and stupid are California liberals?
And yet, amazingly, they continue to push that envelope.
So they’re not going to make any more of those anti-Trump videos where they all say the same thing one at a time? For a whole month?
Deal.
Really? Hollywood is promising to stop making movies while Trump is in office? And we won’t have to listen to their moral preening? That could almost guarantee a Trump re-election landslide. In fact, that could give major momentum to a move to repeal Presidential term limits.
Debra Messing actually believes we can’t live without The Mysteries of Laura? Oh wait it was canceled already. Have these self-important bozos never heard of Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, and all the other ways we can watch movies? Bring it, Hollywood.
