At least one liberal gets it.  He'll be chastised by the left.  Heaven forbid a liberal using common sense.  Same reason I fear for TxHoops.

From the article...

The utter contempt with which privileged Eastern liberals such as myself discuss red-state, gun-country, working-class America as ridiculous and morons and rubes is largely responsible for the upswell of rage and contempt and desire to pull down the temple that we’re seeing now.

I’ve spent a lot of time in gun-country, God-fearing America. There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can to get by, and take care of themselves and the people they love. When we deny them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn, and treat them with contempt, we do no one any good. Nothing nauseates me more than preaching to the converted. The self-congratulatory tone of the privileged left—just repeating and repeating and repeating the outrages of the opposition—this does not win hearts and minds. It doesn’t change anyone’s opinions. It only solidifies them, and makes things worse for all of us. We should be breaking bread with each other, and finding common ground whenever possible. I fear that is not at all what we’ve done.

A lack of common sense isn't a deficit only in the liberal camp.  Some of the people that supported Trump are the same people that supported big business, wealthy 1% establishment conservatives for YEARS.  Those conservatives bought and sold the people of the heartland for decades.  You can't blame liberals for outsourcing America (but you can tag some blue dog dems like Bill Clinton).  The establishment Republicans caught serious backlash due to their policies that sold out middle and lower class Americans (speaking in terms of income).  The Tea Party and the Trump movement grew out of the small town America's anger from getting short changed economically for decades.

Hillary wasn't the answer for the change our country needs ECONOMICALLY.  I like Trump on the economy and immigration.  I did cartwheels just hearing someone talk about negotiating better deals with other countries and also calling some of the corporations on the carpet for abandoning American workers just to save a dime.  I'm not sure if giving business' every advantage to stay here will actually work though.  Corporations damn near get away with slave wages in other countries.  Corporations are seeking to develop other low cost alternatives to China.  Places like Vietnam.

The "privileged Eastern liberals" got the memo years ago that we are in a GLOBAL economy.  The smart ones adjusted.  Unfortunately, many of our fellow Americans got left behind.  Many are not educated or skilled enough to take the thousands of jobs that are currently unfilled.  They might have to move as well.

The trend for the country is being liberal on social issues and conservative of fiscal issues.  I pray a Trump presidency will wake up everyone.

All coordinated by the puppet master Rush, of course.
