At least, that's the message that I've been receiving from an extreme partisan associated with the blue side. He keeps approaching me as if it's my problem and the issues that blues are having with minorities is my problem too. I don't really care if he makes you look stupid when I make him look stupid by telling him how stupid he looks/comes across to someone like me and how stupid the party who represents him and appears to behind over backwards and cater to his political wants/needs looks to me as well. Why is it that Cynic and I are able to see our differences, but you are unable to see our differences? Are you stupid? Are you not paying enough attention? Are you just another blue who acts like a blue and does what blues do every time a blue  gets upset?

FWIW, the blue side of the polity tends to reside in cities that have dynamic economies and they tend to do well themselves.  The red side is the one that tends to reside in declining areas and feels put-upon.  Reality check: West Virginia voted overwhelmingly for Trump.  So did Kentucky and ail the areas in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio where the economy is in decline.  So give it a rest.  We're not into "alternative facts".
