Since political discussion threads appear to be okay, let's talk about my hometown (area), DC/Maryland/Virginia (The "DMV").
To start: DC hates Trumps fucking guts. In this polls, DC has, since day one, hated Trump more than any other area with presidential electors. Not once in that time has anyone hated Trumps fucking guts more than DC, not even Massachusetts, New York City, or California. DC voted overwhelmingly for Clinton: 93% vs Trump's 4%. Many locals have said that the easiest way to point out who is a tourist is to look for a red MAGA hat. To sum up: DC hates Trumps fucking guts
If I were Trump, I wouldn't take it too personally, however: DC is the single most consistently liberal place in the country; maybe the most liberal place period. Since getting the vote in 1964, DC has literally never voted for a Republican.
This also explains why nobody bothered to show up for Trumps inauguration, and the locals that did show up did so to tell Trump, in no uncertain terms "DC hates your fucking guts":

The next day, residents of DC (as well as people from all over the country) made history by hosting the largest protest in American history, the women's march.
Since then, there have been a few very notable events in the Trump administration's rocky history, such as when some local bars hosted viewing parties for former FBI Director James Comey's testimony before congress about his firing and the status of the Russian collusion investigation.
Additionally, the city has consistently resisted or tried to fuck with Trump as best as possible. For example, the DC Liquor License board is trying to revoke Trump Hotel DC's liquor license because the law requires that those who hold the license must be "of good moral character"
When Trump said he wanted to have a Russian-style military parade down Pennsylvania avenue with tanks and soldiers, DC basically said "fuck off"
Lately it's been reported that Trump aids have been having trouble finding love in the city, with one staffer saying “Thank God I’ve had a girlfriend of three years, because the last person I would want to be is a single Trump supporter dating in D.C. right now.”
This is all probably best explained by the fact that Republicans tend to want smaller government, and everyone in the DMV works for or with the Federal government in some way, which has made Northern Virginia basically the wealthiest place in America.
DC has a lot for contempt for congress, however. Since congress decides DC's budget, and literally everything else despite DC having no congressional representation, DC did use what little power they have to design license plates which say "Taxation without Representation".

So, if you ever wonder what life, love, and local politics is like for Trump and his staffers in the capital of this grand old country, be assured knowing that Trump is a single Russian-red dot in an ocean of democratic blues who hate his fucking guts
I thought you meant Detective Comics, but hey this is better
I don't hate Trump's guts. I like them so much that I want to see them displayed out in the open
They prob aren't big fans either
Secret Service in 3...2...1...
I dunno, he makes their villians look more competant by comparison
How's this news again, DC has always been the bluest state ever since they counted for the electoral college. It went 90 to 4 this time around, which tells already that those people were full into the ''IT'S HER TURN'' misplaced hype. The last time any Republican candidate got above 10% of the votes there, was Bush Sr.. Even Reagan got a mere 13.7% back when he had the biggest electoral sweep in modern US History. Even the ''Never Trump'' Republicans they claim to like these days couldn't get at least 10% during their attempts. It's bound to be a hornet's nest for Republican staffers. Perhaps the only places in time the presidential staffers would be even less welcome in certain states, would be Virginia and Maryland in 1860.
DC is not a state, but many people are often surprised to hear that DC is so overwhelmingly Democrat and not a 50/50 split like they kind of imagined politics to be
The only place that should be welcoming to anyone still standing behind Donald Trump is the Kremlin. The man is a traitor in every possible sense of the word. He has dealt a festering blow to American democracy and the rule of law. Those who haven't withdrawn their support of him yet are, as far as I'm concerned, insurgent enemies of the United States.
oh god if Lex Luthor becomes a Trump analog...
I'm pretty sure Lex Luthor would need to lose about half his brain to even get in the same zip code as Trump.
Marvel's already done it with the Red Skull, which is nice...
The thing about Trump is that I think most people hate his guts, it's just some of them support him anyway.
I don't see what's explicitly traitorous by opting to attempt diplomacy against geopolitical rivals instead of bumbling off into another costly, drawn-out, and in the end, another completely unnecessary (proxy) war just like the last few times in the past two decades. While I don't see America and Russia becoming best buds anytime soon, I believe that the last thing the world at large needs is a massive proxy war somewhere in the Middle East between the world's two biggest superpowers. I thought a lot of people, especially in America, would understand that dialogue and diplomacy was going steadily even during the most precarious moments of the Cold War. War should be a last resort in any case, and not an abruptly taken option, in contrary what the mainstream media seems to believe once again these days. I haven't forgotten that the only moment where the entire media was praising Trump was when he bombed an airfield in Syria for the first time, and everyone seemed to believe that America would escalate it into Vietnam in the Middle East. Once it became clear that Trump wasn't going to escalate it any further, the media went back to their usual spiel. And I wouldn't be surprised in the event of war, which is hopefully not anytime soon, that the biggest warmongers would do a 180 the very nanosecond innocent people or American soldiers perish in said war. It feels to me that a lot of media and (formerly) influential people are pushing abnormally hard for a war in the next few years, and I don't see who would profit other than those people who have profited before from handing over weapons to what turned out to be the scum of the planet, and all in the name of prolonging one of those wars. I'm especially looking at some American senators on that matter. It's very rich of those people to accuse Trump from being some large sort of cosmic evil while said senators handed over weapons to Islamic terrorists in North Africa and the Middle East and Ukranian neo-nazis in the last few conflict, while posing with big smiles with them.
What Trump is doing with Putin is FAR AND BEYOND "Attempting diplomacy"
What Obama did was attempt diplomacy with Russia. Everything Trump has done is increasingly in Russia's favor at the expense of the US and NATO, culminating in expressing eagerness to turn over US politicians responsible for Russia's sanctions over to Russia for "questioning".
Hey look, it's Jordax plain and obviously not having a fucking clue what he's talking about. What a shock!
What's very rich is the idea that you can vomit out these massive blocks of garbage and think that anyone is going to read or agree with you.
We know your pattern pretty well by now. You drop in, make 2 or 3 inflammatory, ignorant posts here you make an incredibly stupid take against strawmen, then you disappear when people call you on it to wait for the next thread.
I too describe performing fellatio on an attacker as "Attempting Diplomacy".
Is that the default way a country, or you, would deal with a threat?
clearly you have access to the minds and arguments of DC voters, and would never pull ideas from your ass
Dude, what he's doing isn't diplomacy. He's the sub in a BDSM relationship on a geopolitical scale. The leash? Held by Daddy Putin.
That isn't diplomacy. That's treason.
If you are going to talk bollocks can you at least format your posts in a semi-readable manner?
Wall-of-text is a form of defensive typing, he knows a decent portion of people will scroll past ignoring it rather than calling him out for his retarded ideas.
You always throw these big words around about Trump but never put any references or papers backing them up
Here's a few hundred, laid out in a clear timeline that you won't bother to read:

I'm pretty sure that lex luthor is friends with superman in the comics now.
not surprising you're here to interject your "Wisdom"
