Writer bemoans ‘Trumpite’ Who 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?

Of course, on some level, I realize I owe them thanks — and, man, it really looks like the guy back-dragged the driveway like a pro — but how much thanks?


These neighbors are staunch partisans of blue lives, and there aren’t a lot of anything other than white lives in the neighborhood.

This is also kind of weird. Back in the city, people don’t sweep other people’s walkways for nothing.

Maybe it’s like what Eddie Murphy discovered in that old “Saturday Night Live” sketch “White Like Me.” He goes undercover in white makeup and finds that when white people are among their own, they pop free champagne and live the high life. As Murphy puts it: “Slowly I began to realize that when white people are alone, they give things to each other. For free.”

Random acts of kindness should be celebrated. Not dissected as an agenda.

I don’t blame them.

who?
the neighbor who got mad her yard was mowed

or other neighbor who put up fence?
I do think fence was overreaction as it probably cost thousands
we have only 2 sections which cost $900

I do not blame the neighbors that put up the fence of their choice.

She interprets kindness from her neighbors, who are probably unaware of the grudge she holds against them, as wanting to make up with her for supporting Trump. Just like AOC was about Cruz retweeting one of her posts.

I doesn’t occur to her that people don’t care what she thinks about Trump and his supporters.

No good deed goes unpunished.

That has ALWAYS been true. Now more so.
