8. New York and California, in the same boat
Mon Mar 30, 2020, 07:15 AM
Mar 2020

Somehow in the last 19 years, a lot of people in trump base have been taught to demonize and distance you. Last year it was the stupid comments about California in the midst of their tragic fires. This year it’s the stupid attitudes about wanting to quarantine the whole state of New York.
What part of “United States” are they missing?

Both are Crown Jewels populated by some of the bravest dreamers, over the centuries..

Very nice! marybourg Mar 2020 #1
