It amazes me that anyone thinks people who live in NY (or any big city), surrounded by all different types of people from all over the world (which includes the South and Midwest)--rich and poor, all colors, all political stripes, LGBTQ, etc.--are somehow the ones who live in a bubble. The only bubbles that exist in this country are in the South, the Midwest, and apparently a disturbing number of suburbs. Hell, I drove through an area of Texas (not far outside of Dallas) where if you didn't belong to a mega church, you might as well stop talking to people altogether.

I grew up in a real bubble, a right wing one, in upstate NY. My general impression is that blue America understands red America much better than red America understands blue America.
What I still can't understand, though, is who the hell goes to Sebby's cocktail parties? I mean, those sound just awful.
