The irony is everywhere.
Compare Trump's conduct to the teachings of Christ.
Compare the respect for strong independent people with the constant need to blame someone other than yourself.
Compare the scream-bloody-murder patriotism of Trump followers with their silent approval of Russia's role in the election.
Compare the "love your neighbor" embroidered pillows with the hatred of anyone not like them -- usually people they've never met.
And by "them" I only mean those who decide to close their eyes. Brilliant open minded kind people live in flyover states. Bet they grind their teeth at night.
Despite my best efforts I truly have a difficult time respecting people who voted for Trump, as if he's just another conservative Republican I don't like, not because of my personal concerns, but because of my concerns for others.
Which means if so-called educated liberal elites have a tough time understanding flyover states, they have zero idea what motivates me.
A huge part of what I care about IS them. Like workers in the coal industry. Do you really think anyone is going to bring that back? They have been duped and it pisses me off.
