The Challenge of Dating in DC for Trump supporters

"Faced with open antagonism, Trump’s millennials over the past year and a half have quietly settled on the margins: a stretch of Washington that spans from the Wharf—a shiny new development three blocks south of the National Mall—southeast along the Waterfront and into Navy Yard, on the banks of the Anacostia River. It’s a string of neighborhoods that peer out over the water, separated from most of the city by an interstate, and facing away from official Washington. It’s a bubble within the Washington bubble: Here, young Trump staffers mix largely with each other and enjoy the view from their rooftop pools, where they can feel far away from the District’s locals and the rest of its political class.

It’s not all a tale of discomfort. Many shrug off the drawbacks by pointing out that at least they’re not in New York or back on their college campuses, where their politics were even less welcome. And they’re learning one lesson that every new wave of operators learns: In Washington—even in Trump’s Washington—as long as you have power, you can manage to feel popular somewhere."

    Anybody who accepts Objectivism should be used to feeling alone, and should expect it. I do.

    I wonder what the source of their power really is ? Personal attraction? Pure emotional manipulation? Certainly not reason

    She came to power through rabble rousing, and she now has an issue that allows her to return to it. Yet, between her and Pelosi, you'd have to combine both their I.Q.'s to reach 100. Yet, they keep getting re-elected. What does that say about their constituents?

    Max is drivel personified. She usually is worth a glance strictly for laughs. But now, she's getting dangerous.

    Unfortunately it IS a war out there, and one must be intellectually consistent, forceful, and take no compromises

    "I never thought he could actually reverse the slide to the left in 4 years." Perhaps he can in his second 4 years when he himself comes across as a nicer guy to everyone.

    Well said actually. I say they don’t hate trump himself- they hate that he speaks openly against the swamp and what the leftists hold dear. They have no arguments ; just viciousness and hatred portrayed very well by Maxine waters. She really stands as the spiritual leader of the left, although she is way too open about it to be embraced as their leader

    Trump and the rest of the “deplorables” have been correctly identified as the enemy. There are currently too many of us to engage in open warfare, but in the end it would be their goal to subjugate us or eliminate us

    I thought trump could slow things down , as he is doing. I never thought he could actually reverse the slide to the left in 4 years. The swamp is too deep and wide.

    I don’t think monkeys turn on other monkeys tho, like Pelosi , waters, and Schumer . If they didn’t have political power they would not be able to survive the rigors of lufe

    I agree the nastiness from the left helps our side more than theirs, but when will it end? There are Never-Trumpers that will never come around, no matter what. They just hate Trump more than they love this country. It makes no sense, mostly because those that follow the 'leaders' can't even tell you what they hate other than quoting the pure and simple rhetoric, things they heard from animals like Maxine Waters spews from her ugly mouth. What they are doing now is hurting our image around the world and giving the dictators more fodder for their personal cause. Kim Jong Un doesn't have to put up with any of this crap under his method of rule. If it does not change after the next election cycle we need to stay much more vigilant in showing our disrespect for these tactics. I pray every day for a complete sweep during the next election cycle. Prayer can actually work, it got Trump elected even though (fill in the blank). If it goes the left way, I don't even want to live here anymore. It's the only way they might understand we are (I am) tired of it.

    I've seemed to notice there are more people, both known and unknown, joining into the "discussion". Both sides seem to be doubling down on their beliefs. If it continues, I can actually see a lot of people getting hurt. the responsibility for that in my mind will be Maxine Waters who was only quietly inspired by Obama. I"ll be long gone before we see the total impact his presidency has put on this country. Trump won't be able to undo all of it, he won't even realize all of it.

    I agree with Herb. No need for us to look like racists when Nancy Pelosi talks and acts just as much like a monkey as Waters.

    Just as well. I wouldn't want to father a child that is going to be raised by Them.

    A harder problem is that once I do find a date who is pro-Trump, where do I take her? Not many places in DC.

    The connotation with slavery and the belief that Negros were a sub species and not quite human.That is what the N-Word applies. I don't mind calling the stupid bitch anything else.

    there are black people who fit the n word. she is definitely one of those

    In a way, its good that she is vocal about all this. It will cost the democrats in the fall, as the hatred and vitriol isnt going to play well in the elections

    Is this like the movie casino- "the longer they play, the more they lose, and in the end (the government) gets it all"?

    We should thank Maxine Waters for exposing the real internal workings of the left. Bring it out for all to see. Let them cut their sales by 50% by not selling to deplorables and make themselves look like the animals they are.

    I dont want to fund the enslavers. But , only a small part goes to the enslavers (part of the profits). The government gets the lion share of what we spend, given the sales taxes, income taxes we paid to get the money to pay for the goods, and all the taxes the businesses have to pay. The best solution is to just cut back on epenses through efficiencies, and not listening to the constant advertising barrage. What we dont spend in general, we dont have to pay taxes on.

    ACtually, Maxine Waters did a good thing for us as a country. She separated out the real intentions of the left for everyone to see- they are intolerant, violent, and downright controlling and nasty people. I would hope businesses would announce their political views like this place did, so I know in advance where they are at and why I need not patronize them.

    I would like if all hillary supporters wore armbands too, so I know in advance who to ignore

    The more of this nastiness towards Trump, the better it is for the country. It exposes the left. In the quietude of the voting booth, people can feel this nastiness and distrust it, like happened with Hillary

    The communists (Democrats) are like a pack of hyenas nipping at the heals of what's left of Free America and could "smell" the victim about to fall. Then a surge of energy "trumped" their efforts and circumvented the final kill and sent the pack into a snarling frenzy. They are now a pack of virtually mindless crazed beasts gearing up to terrorize the countryside. It will start slow at first...

    I just read a report that the restaurant owner is a cousin of Meryl Streep (according to VA state congressman Ben Cline.)
    So this is likely a planned event intended to distract Huckabee from her tasks in the administration. This will win Huckabee (and Trump) more friends and lose none.

    I second that, store owners should advertise. It's getting to the period in time that everyone needs to take a stand. This rhetoric and illegal nonsense against our laws and our Constitution is getting way out of control. In reality it doesn't matter to me directly, I'm not going to be here that much more, but it's not what I fought for when I put on a uniform a long time ago. I would think those that don't take a stand are the real majority, perhaps they need to come out of the closet, so to speak. I might even ask the next time we go out to a restaurant, or to our local market, the barber shop, perhaps even the bar and grill. What would be the consensus if everyone had to vote? Would we find we're just a bunch of psycho emotional brainless animals (PEBA's), or might we actually find some true humanity and reason amongst us? California may soon direct the direction this country might follow, and perhaps actually open some eyes. I can hardly wait to see how the people there vote, they're beginning to see the results of their previous decisions. I believe the Trump presidency is actually a result of people opening their eyes and taking a stand. That Sarah Huckabee incident really got to me, broke my heart, but the Maxine Waters speech condoning and trying to make it grow actually made me furious.
