#1 And it’s a struggle. You have to continue to interact with people, and you have to wonder: Do you really have hate in your heart in this way? Really?

You dope. You fell for the media line, hook, line, and sinker. Your neighbors are still the same people they were before the election. Maybe some hated your intrusion into their lives, but probably most didn't care, and I am willing to bet none of them are "haters" of liberals, or progressives, or immigrants, or even people of color. They just want to get on with life, without being bothered.

Rethink your worldview, honey, or get a farm just outside of Portland, Oregon.

#2 I think they thought the liberal elite was looking down on them, and I guess, in some ways, we were. Because we couldn’t believe anybody would vote for Trump.

Citizen of the world sees but never meets the natives. Colonist is probably a good term for the new comers. Like those white government appointees over the browns and blacks in the old colonies.

#3 A lot of farmers in Pepin County come from longstanding Democratic families. But over time, the party has come to represent a way of seeing America with which people here have trouble identifying.

The authors of this long piece seem to stumble right over the heart of the true conflict. The Trump and Clinton campaigns were just the symptoms. It's not urban vs rural. Nor is it Democrat vs Republican. It's not even liberal vs conservative. In a word it's Progressivism. Though neither political party is immune it's just that the Liberal democrats are the most highly susceptible hosts to this virulent strain. Watch out, they've made no secret of their plans. They're coming to a local town near you. Bank on it!
