Per National Review June, 2017…..Half the country, mostly liberal America, is concentrated in 146 of the nation’s more than 3,000 counties — in an area that collectively represents less than 10 percent of the U.S. land mass. The other half, the conservative Red states of the interior of America, is geographically, culturally, economically, politically, and socially at odds with Blue-state America, which resides mostly on the two coasts. The two Americas watch different news. They read very different books, listen to different music, and watch different television shows. Increasingly, they now live lives according to two widely different traditions.

Things have changed so much for the worse that many Trump voters say they often feel like a stranger in America and that the American way of life has to be protected from Foreign Influence. The Atlantic called it “Cultural Anxiety” as though it was their fault. that’s how different the Left sees America. They love the culture that provides Affirmative Action programs and rigged and jiggered test results that push less qualified people into jobs that more qualified people lose because of the rigging of the system. Liberals think that’s good because it moves the less qualified into better places. Trump supporters think they’re bad things because they are blatantly unfair.

 

Barack Obama was elected president after compiling the most left-wing voting record in the U.S. Senate. His antidote, Donald Trump, was elected largely on the premise that traditional Republicans were hardly conservative. Red America and Blue America are spiraling into divisions approaching those of 1860, or of the nihilistic hippie/straight divide of 1968.

America’s once-preeminent colleges and universities are fatally compromised by the Liberals in charge. Attempts to end free speech, to sanction racial and gender segregation, and to attack rather than argue with opponents are disguised by euphemisms such as “safe spaces,” “trigger warnings,” and various -isms and -ologies. Behind the guise of campus activism and non-negotiable demands is the reality that too many students simply are unprepared to do their assigned work and seek exemption through protests in lieu of hard studying.
