My Trip to America
2024-09-26
[Townhall - Kurt Schlichter] So, I went out and visited America last week. Leaving California is always interesting, and it’s quite a culture clash when you go back to someplace like rural Pennsylvania, where my family came from. Last week, we went back for a quintessentially American kind of event. My grandfather was being inducted into the Chambersburg High School Athletics Hall of Fame. He was a coach and athletic director there for something like 40 years. My little trip out of my LA blue bubble was a welcome reminder that all of America isn’t a nightmarish hellscape like California is.

So, we landed at Dulles and headed out to Gettysburg after spending a night in DC. I’ve been to Gettysburg about a million times. I actually have a scar on my forehead from where I fell as a little kid on the Peace Memorial. The drive was interesting because I saw a lot of Trump signs. There were a few Harris signs but a lot more Trump ones. You get out of the cities, and it’s bright red. You need to understand that the old joke is true about Pennsylvania. It’s liberal Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and Kentucky in between. These places are where normal people live. There was no weirdness. It was neat, clean, and orderly. Drug zombies weren’t staggering and shouting. There wasn’t trash everywhere. No bizarre transvestites were walking around. It was all normal.
Read it all; it gave me hope.
So, what’s the takeaway about this little slice of America? Perhaps that normal people are not obsessed with the same idiotic things that the regime media tries to make us believe they are obsessed with. Perhaps America isn’t a racist, sexist hellhole. Perhaps America is a patriotic place full of people who love their country and love their community and take care of each other. I’m not pretending Chambersburg, or the rest of non-blue-city America is perfect. That would be ridiculous. But I’ve lived and traveled around the world, and compared to most of it, Chambersburg was paradise. We ought to remember that before we let the left destroy our country in a selfish pursuit of power.

#2  Yeah, the flyover country is solid red, but the votes are in the cities. Especially the duplicate votes.
