#1 Much like blacks+whites make tans
an increasing cultural homogenization
makes blue+red look pink.

#2 Nothing but the Othering of Americans outside the major cities. Only those people can be trusted - anyone else with a brain would have left the countryside long ago and made a beeline to the megacities. The writer did, wouldn't anyone?

#3 An intense distrust of the federal government, veneration of local law enforcement, resentment of city folk, suspicion of minorities and foreigners, hostility to technologically driven change, and a keen sensitivity to cultural slights.

Most of us are fine with minorities and foreigners, and we like new technology as much as any city dweller does. We're just suspicious of what some people are *doing* with said technology.

As for the rest of it... well, duh!

#4 If you want to see a "keen sensitivity to cultural slights": criticize a city's "gay men's chorus", question why inner city students can't read or do math, or question why tax payers are forced to subsidize professional athletic teams.

#5 And now to an important question. What is the Yankee version of grits?

#6 He forgot to mention the Trump signs and flags still in yards. Believe me, they are numerous.

#10 More likely the liberal order stopped doing the minimal expected from government and fixating on divisive insanity and more and more people are turning against the chaos that results. Rural America is basically the same as it always has been except for an influx of blue-state refugees (hopefully a number of which are red pilled)

#12 Attract a love of Freedom-Curious people. By noon, their mask is off and though they may not be striking up random conversations at the check out lane, they have the relieved face of someone who finishing a haunted house marathon.

#13 MINORITIES have now become the MAJORITY.

Very different set of morals plus they have always been politically targeted as "entitled".

#14 I think secession is the only way this country survives. We need Guiliani policing, ie stop the little crimes. Our legal system is completely broken as is our government. there should only be americans not hyphenated americans. People rioting should be put down. We need a return to basics that i can't happen within our current system.

#15 How's that split working for the Irish?

"Secession" and "The Great Divorce" are childish fantasies. Work to keep the country united and free; that's more likely to prevent a war than clicking your heels and wishing it all goes away.

#16 g(r)om, this would be a fairly typical yankee breakfast...

Corn pudding, risotto, polenta,
Samp, Malt-o-Meal. Oatmeal at center.
More sides: Cream of Wheat,
Maypo, grits, and a beet
To make all a familiar magenta.
