One issue of course is getting to where my girlfriend lives, since that would require traveling through a Trump state and many Trump counties. So my plan is to only get gas and food in Hillary counties. That basically means stopping in Eau Claire, and then filling up in Dane County along the way. Rockford would be OK too, since in the end Winnebago County narrowly voted for Hillary. But I'm not going to get out and set foot in any of the Trump counties that exist between Hennepin County and Lake County, IL. Ideally I could just boycott Wisconsin altogether but alas that wretched place has to be stuck between us.

This has however convinced me that everyone's hatred of the Green Bay Packers is 100% justified.

I assume your GF is a Dem. Does she have a Dem state representative and/or senator? If she does, wouldn't she want them to vote for policies in line with the Dem party? I would assume so, and that means she would want her legislators to spend time in Springfield as members of the majority. But Springfield is in Sangamon county where Trump won 51-42. That means she would want her legislators to spend considerable time in a Trump county, so that they could do things that support Dems.

Therefore, it would make sense that she would want other Dems to also spend time in Trump counties if it were to further Dem policies. I can only believe that she would apply that to you, too.

I have not been to a Trump county in 2017.

Will follow up on how long it lasts. Considering that I don't have a planned venture out of Chicagoland in the near future, I see it continuing for awhile.

So you are done in Champaign?
