What I love about Northern Virginia
I am sitting in la Madeleine, a French bistro watching a young lady in a hijab speaking to her co-workers in Spanish. An additional co-worker comes in with some type of home made Salvadoran sweet bread that she is sharing and they all seem to enjoy.
There is a sense of community, all hard at work early in the morning, enjoying each other’s company. It is nice to see.

Specifically I live in Pittsburgh on the Northside. Almost everyone I know is a Dem, and I know very few Trump-humpers. However I am aware that outside our city, more to the far suburbs and rural areas, things are very different.
Here's how I feel about it: regardless of anyone's party affiliation I don't understand how any thinking person can support the orange asshole in the White House. The damage he's done to our country in just over a year and a half is unmistakable.
Once the Democrats are back in power it will take an entire generation to rid ourselves of his stink. Many Republicans feel the same way and their numbers are growing daily.
... and almost her entire neighborhood had Conor Lamb yard signs out last month. Or they didn't have any signs at all which was also a good indicator.
Many of my friends in Pittsburgh are immigrants so therefore I couldn't possibly support a hateful no-immigration policy. It's easy to become friends with people from other countries because they are so open and friendly towards us Americans. Sadly if anyone is close-minded it's those of us who are born here, because we don't take the time to meet immigrants and get to know them. My life is greatly enriched by their friendship.
That’s not real America
