We Hate You, But Thanks for Voting for Us
I almost never post about politics, because I don't really have a horse in the Democrat-Republican race. However, this post from Kevin Drum quoting E.J. Dione kind of tickled me. They claim Democrats are winning the suburbs from Republicans, which I have no particular reason to dispute. But the whole concept of Democrats competing in the suburbs is kind of funny to me. Almost at every turn, the Left tends to use the suburbs as its great cultural whipping boy. We hate your SUV's and your lack of public transportation and your large houses and your Walmarts and your churches and your private schools and we take your money and send it to the city centers which culturally we have much more affinity for, but thanks for voting for us.

Hey, maybe there's enough self-loathing to go around.

Never underestimate the power of guilt exploitation.
Come, let us save you from yourselves!
