Eh, maybe I'm just more sympathetic here because I think there's a definite line between what I think was the intention in that post and the sentiments that use the same language in a "Well, in Real America..." or "Well, if you just ignore California and New York..." where it's 100% "other"-izing blue states/areas/urban centers and trying to dismiss millions of people as lesser.

I can get the snap reaction because, again, the language would be near - if not exactly - identical but I definitely get a different impression from the post and that matters, IMO.

and also because again a good chunk of blue states like to elect republicans because the voters who support them (i. e. basically all voters outside the Republican party) value compromise and bipartisanship even as political warfare becomes more and more asymmetrical in this regard
