We have chatted before online....and I live in a bubble in the Bay Area and a thoroughly red area in rural Oregon...AND we owned a 3/4 ton Dodge Ram purchased from the Forest Service and known affectionately as the Green Avenger (forest service green).....

I thought as I read Gehrings piece that while I much agree with his personal thoughts...it's really important for BOTH bubbles to get to know each other and not the primary responsibility of the Clinton supporter to seek out the Trump supporter.....

I mentioned to you on another thread that it was some rural (probably Trump supporters) who had been of invaluable help to me in family health crises,....our emergency medical folks (50 miles from medical care) are of both political preferences....

We manage to get along very well in this rural enclave...people know they are interdependent and like helping each other....and LIKE Each other, too!
