Showing Original Post only (View all)While on vacation we stopped in a diner in southwestern Wisconsin for lunch. [View all]
It was a nice little place, lots of pick up trucks, working people, and kids. The food was great (wish I could remember the name of it), but pretty soon a guy pulled up in a pickup covered in anti liberal, pro trump stickers. He got out, he had the required MAGA hat on and then came into the diner. I noticed something interesting, people did not give him a smile and wave, they glared at him. One guy covered in dirt from the hard work he had been doing moved to a different stool at the counter to get away from him it seemed. Nobody talked to this guy. When we came in we were obviously not from the area and people were so nice, they welcomed us and were genuinely kind. Not to this guy.
Maybe there is hope in this dark place.

Yeah. Sigh. And they will be blaming Hillary or President Obama for it somehow.
