re: #171 Blind Frog Belly White

My favorite bit is the ā€˜elite coastal countiesā€™ where most Americans apparently live. How they figure a majority of Americans are elite, Iā€™m not sure.

What I love is the people who create the crap about coastal elites are actual coastal elites themselves. All these conservative writers who love to talk about how the ā€œHeartlandā€ is real America donā€™t live anywhere near it. Honestly, i donā€™t care that Trumpā€™s won more counties than Clinton. Thatā€™s like saying Alaska has a bigger GDP than say Illinois because of its land size. Land size is impressive but only in terms of geography, in terms of politics itā€™s frankly irrelevant. So yeah liberal/Democratic voters reside in more densely populated areas. That doesnā€™t change that 2.5 million more votes were given to Clinton than Trump.
