According to Michael Barone, the gentry liberal are all what’s left of the Democratic Party –Here
But just who are these “gentry liberal?” I find the best way to describe them is to paraphrase the old Jeff Foxworthy riff.
-If you oppose national borders yet demand urban planning protect your city from over-development, you might be a gentry liberal.
-If you believe abortion save lives, you might be a gentry liberal.
-If you moved into a working class neighborhood to be hip then protest the lack of low income housing, you might be a gentry liberal.
-If you voted for Obama because he’d heal the nation’s racial divisions and Hillary because it was a woman’s turn, you might be a gentry liberal.
-If you believe disarming law abiding citizens will make you safer, you might be a gentry liberal.
-If you want to force children to eat arugula at school and bakers to make gay wedding cakes, you might be a gentry liberal.
-If you believe you have the right not to be offended, you might be a gentry liberal.
Exactly what I have been saying for decades
A gentry liberal sounds an awful lot like a totalitarian socialist to me.
Nailed it!
Which brings to forefront the question: Why did the gays want a wedding cake? It’s filled with sugar and flour, and we all know that’s bad for us! The baker was only thinking in their best interest.
The gentry, being of a high social position, are the bleeding heart socialists who have benefited the most from capitalism.
They are also the upper end of democrats who insist the working middle class support and pay for wasteful government programs for those who refuse to work for a living.
The thinking and working democrats who were being fleeced became enlightened and voted for Trump.
All that is left in the democrat party are the users, abusers, losers, misinformed, socialists, marxists, communists and the gentry.
Gentry? I do not think that word means what they think it means.
This is the latest variation of limousine liberals – no mistaking their hypocrisy with that epithet.

I agree. I don’t believe the names mentioned point to an Oligarchy. Which seems to be where he’s headed. Smells like total NWO Socialism to me.
I have known a lot of liberals. Some of them are total lunatics. A few actually tink and don’t try to attack your jugular vein. It’s rare.
If you think building Governor Moonbeam’s train is good for the environment but you drive a Prius and don’t need to take public transportation, you might be a gentry liberal.
If are CEO of a major cooperation in the Silicon Valley and prefer open borders and cheap labor and appose Trumps economic policies, which quite possibly could triple your potential market, not only are you an idiot, but you are a Gentry Liberal.
If you’re mayor of NYC, you’re just a worn out old socialist.
– If you fly 1,500 miles to go on an eco-vacation, you might be a gentry liberal.
– If you buy a new home in a rural area and then write letters to the editor opposing development, you may be a gentry liberal.
– If you badmouth Walmart as a terrible business that kills local stores and then shop there for bargains, you may be a gentry liberal.
I live in a gentry neighborhood in OhStink TexAss — as former Governor Rick Perry put it, the blueberry in the tomato soup. In this neighborhood we have MANY “Black Lives Matter” signs; and yet, blacks make up only ~1% of the population, as opposed to the entirety of Austin where blacks account for a gentrified ~7%, as opposed to the national black average of ~12%, (which would be MUCH higher if not for Governor Ann Richards daughter.)
If you believe federal tax reform is Armageddon because you lost your deduction for State and Local Taxes and you won’t see the kinds of savings those in lower taxed states will enjoy, you might be a gentry liberal.
If you believe school vouchers are evil and Betsy DeVos is the devil while dropping your kids off at their private school, you might be a gentry liberal.
If you buy a pair of LL Bean boots at a yard sale or thrift store then try to return them to Bean for a new pair, you might be a gentry liberal.

I think demanding Gun Control, Gun Free Zones, Gun Free Schools, and then dropping your kids off at a private school complete with armed security might qualify you as a Gentry Liberal.
What is it with this ‘gentry’ crap all of a sudden? Here in Cincinnati, the city is trying to court an FC/MLS endorsement. On the bottom of the list is a West End ‘hood. Keep in mind this would bring LOTS of infrastructure, jobs, ect to the area, but the ‘black leaders’ don’t want that gentri-fu-cay-shun. They ain’t playin’. *eye roll* Guess that would dry up the idiot’s perpetual victim gravy train job up…
These are the same morons that didn’t want Cinci Children’s hospital, which does ENORMOUS work in the whole area expanded because they were willing to buy out a ghetto for more than market value, because that would also be ‘murdering’ a black neighborhood.
I shit you not.

To shove up each other’s rectum.
Gentry liberals – coming soon to an area near you. Barone’s article focuses on Chicago, and while it looks like roughly 20,000 more gentry liberals now live in Chicago compared to blacks, overall Chicago has been losing population for many years.
The gentry liberals’ only solution to the messes they make is to increase taxes. They act surprised when normal folk leave high tax/high regulation areas, but in reality gentry liberals don’t like these things either – particularly when they are the only ones left paying them. Illinois is now the 6th largest state (going the wrong way – it was the 5th largest state), and dropping. Our brilliant solution was to jack up both the personal income tax and corporate income tax rates, which combined with the highest property tax rates in the nation is probably not going to encourage residents or businesses to stay here.
So a word of caution to the citizens of Texas, Florida, the Carolinas, Arizona, etc. – keep these people out of your state. If you have to choose between stemming the flow of illegal immigrants or gentry liberals, focus on stopping the gentry liberals as they are more dangerous. Check their luggage on entry – too many tight jeans, or a pussy hat, or any Elizabeth Warren stickers should be an automatic denial of entry. Send them to California, Chicago (please don’t pollute downstate Illinois), Washington, Oregon, New York, Connecticut or Massachusetts. If they establish an enclave in your state, quarantine the area immediately. Gentry liberals are an infestation which will ultimately destroy your state.
If you believe you have the right not to be offended, BUT TAKE PRIDE IN OFFENDING OTHERS, you might be a gentry liberal.
STOOPID is, as STOOPID believes. :no:
If you’re a feminist who defends Islam, you might be a gentry liberal.

if you refuse to stand for the flag and honor our vets but enjoy the rights they provided you might be a gentry liberal
Wyatt,
NC here. They began invading in a steady stream years ago. The true locals tell me that many of the leftists are plain old New Yorkers and New Jerseyites, typically in their 50s and older but not always, who sold off their homes at a profit and moved south. Whether they bring ALL of their political attitudes with them has to be examined case by case (many sure do) but without doubt ALL of them that I’ve met bring that rotten big city self-righteous contempt for everyone Not Them. Of course that’s typical of all leftists but the invaders, being from New Yawk and points north, are particularly arrogant and unapologetic about it. I am convinced that they KNOW what they are, and don’t care. Or they like it. I cannot stand them; I hate to have to feel the utter loathing the true locals have to live with
If you believe in open borders but live in a gated community……

if you eat chili but complain about your own farts.
Most liberals see the world from a child’s point of view. No matter there actual age.
C.S. Lewis pegged them 8 decades ago.
They are these….”those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
If you move out of the city next to a big hog farm then try to get your neighbors to sign a petition to close the hog farm because it stinks and causes flies you are a gentry liberal!
If you voted for Killary and you really, truly cared for the homeless, but you don’t want the mofos in your neighborhood, you’re a gentry lib and a hypocrite
