Whitefish, MT is a cool little town

[SHRED]

I have visited Whitefish. There are many progressive/leftys that live there.
I went to the town square farmer's market.
Many older "hippie" types. Organic produce, great music, etc...

Too bad they are now associated with crony corruption.

10. Not anymore.

He lives in beautiful downtown Alexandria, Virginia, now:

The chocolatiers and the white nationalist, coexisting in Old Town Alexandria

Protesting in Alexandria

Before that, he lived in the adjacent county, Arlington.

That's why it's so easy for him to toss a few Tiki Torches in the car and head down the I-66 Autobahn to Charlottesville, where he went to school.

He grew up in Texas.

7. The title of this page says it all:

We’re hijacked by people who don’t believe in use of government but for themselves (VIDEO)

"Leaders set a tone," said Anand Giridharadas. "We all know Donald Trump lived until recently in a house with a stuffed lion and gilded every inch. So they live in a world in which people live in gold and don't see the realities which other people live. The amazing thing to build on your point about the jets, there's an unseemly quality to them being in jets. But that's actually not the real issue. The real issue is these people don't believe in the use of government to help people with cancer. They don't believe in the use of government to help people from going into bankruptcy because their kid got a relatively minor illness. But they do believe in the supreme power is a necessity of the United States government flying them places for thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars that you can get, you know, for a hundred bucks on Expedia. So our government has been hijacked by people who don't believe in the use of government except for themselves."

But hey, let's worry about the single mom down the street who is on food stamps.
