Anthony Bourdain is just a little hard to swallow.

 Just what is Bourdain trying to cook up and serve the Red States. At first reading it sounds reasonable "admit your biases  and seek compromise. " Not so fast, If Hillary had won by the same margins as Trump did would this be his private position let alone his public position?

“The utter contempt with which privileged Eastern liberals such as myself discuss red-state, gun-country, working-class America as ridiculous and morons and rubes is largely responsible for the rage and contempt and desire to pull down the temple that we’re seeing now,” Bourdain said in an interview with Reason magazine.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in gun-country, God-fearing America,” Bourdain continued. “There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can to get by and take care of themselves and the people they love. When we deny them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn and treat them with contempt, we do no one any good.”

Bourdain, a never Trumper from the start, said he thinks “the rise of authoritarianism” is a “global trend and one that should be of concern to everyone.”
