That’s heartland conjugated in the minds of an out of touch media.
 
You can get a Latte anywhere. Farmers know genetics. The entire US has Wifi &amp; indoor plumbing. Not just Brooklyn &amp; DuPont Circle.
 
Why are Democrats electing Trump via contempt?

|content=There is no path to voting Trump out of office that passes through a contempt for working Americans.
 
And by the way, you educated coastals can get a latte with coal mining families in Appalachia:
 
Food City 50,</br>

Hazard, KY 41702
 
They hear your jokes on iPhones.

|content=This is everywhere. The DNC is like an incompetent retiring substitute civics teacher who long ago mentally checked out, but still condescendingly lectures the smartest kids on wrong facts. Trump, the 3rd grade teacher next door passing out Jell-O shots calling them “study aids.”

|content=I didn't vote for Trump in '16, but am seriously considering doing so this year.
 
My reasoning is mostly about what you might call "teaching the bureaucracy/media a lesson".  There's lots to dislike about Trump, but more to dislike about the institutional response to Trump.

That is not surprising. What is surprising is the number of people who haven’t learned this after the last 4 years.

|content=But, yes, he should resign. I thought that would go without saying. And no, he didn’t do everything wrong. Neither did Pelosi. Nor the Mayor of NYC. But the whole lot of them need to leave. It is now a different era.
 
This class of leaders has been measured.
 
And found wanting.

|content=People don’t understand my position on Trump. Here it is:
 
Trump owns his critics other than me. Why? Because he says so much crazy stuff mixed in with real stuff that it is a lifetime commitment to correct him. So I decided to simply state that I view him as an existential risk.

|content=This way:
 
A) I am not picking up after him intellectually every two minutes.
 
B) I’m not forced to pretend that everything he does is wrong just because he did it.
 
C) I can continue to be friends with his supporters.
 
D) I’m clear that he should not be our commander in chief.

It’s just endless bait, both boring and transparent. Like Lucy and the football. And it doesn’t stop for life and death. It’s to the bone.
 
Can’t stand it.

They don’t code. They don’t weld. They don’t compose. They don’t crowdsource. They don’t understand crypto. They don’t believe in standing alone.
 
Now use that.

Stay tuned. And thanks for reading this. It is of the utmost importance.
 
Thank you all. 🙏

|content=Bari Weiss has now resigned from the @nytimes. And that is not even “The Story”. I‘ve just spoken to Bari &amp; learned that I‘m finally free to tweet.
 
Her letter hints at the real News: the *loss* of the News is now *the* News, and the News cannot cover it.

|content=On 6/1/17 Ms Weiss was the only journalist covering “The News”.
Only she was doing it from the opinion section because the NYT refused to find interesting that there was a racist Maoist insurrection at a public college where police would be stood down:

|content=At that moment Bari Weiss became all that was left of the “Paper of Record.” Why? Because the existence of Black Racists with the power to hunt professors with Baseball Bats and even redefine the word ‘racism’ to make their story impossible to cover ran totally counter-narrative.

|content=At some point after 2011, the NYT gradually stopped covering the News and became the News instead. And Bari has been fighting internally from the opinion section to re-establish Journalism inside tbe the NYT. A total reversal of the Chinese Wall that separates news from opinion.

|content=Before Bari resigned, I did a podcast with her. It was chilling. I‘d make an innocuous statement of simple fact and ask her about it. She‘d reply “That is obviously true but I’m sorry we can’t say that here. It will get me strung up.” That‘s when I stopped telling her to hang on.
