None of that here in Chindia: Rod Dreher's Snow Plow Test

Rod Dreher tells us about Virginia Heffernan: 'Los Angeles Times columnist Virginia Heffernan, who lives in Brooklyn Heights but who lives somewhere rurally to escape Covid, recently had a dilemma: her Trump-loving neighbors did something nice for her. She doesn’t know what the right thing to do about it is.'

You see Heffernan's MAGA  neighbors plowed her driveway: 'Oh, heck no. The Trumpites next door to our pandemic getaway, who seem as devoted to the ex-president as you can get without being Q fans, just plowed our driveway without being asked and did a great job. How am I going to resist demands for unity in the face of this act of aggressive niceness?'

There follows hundreds of words of leftist psychodrama, all because Heffernan is panicked that she might have to be nice to her conservative neighbors. It's sad, it's pathetic. 

This blog urges reader(s) to go read the Dreher piece.

Lemme tell the likes of Heffernan something. We live in Chindia. We're the only one of our immediate friends and neighbors who like Trump. We flew a Trump banner for six months and you know what? No one cared. When one of our neighbors put up a Biden sign you know what we did? Nothing. In fact, the next week four of us Chindian men had an autumn cookout at his outdoor BBQ pit, manfully eating meat, drinking whisky and smoking cigars. We brought glory to the neighborhood. 

Heck, we used to wear a MAGA hat to the bus stop every morning but stopped because we figured our neighbors just didn't need to see it. It was no problem, just an act of simple kindness and consideration. When our snow blower died last week and we couldn't clear our 75 year old neighbor's driveway we asked another neighbor to do it. And he did. Mrs. Stroock baked him some brownies.

This is beyond Virginia Heffernan and her ilk. There's something wrong with these people.
