So what? I feel like a stranger in my own county. Most of those about me speaks "hick," curses the black President, and drives around with a Confederate flag in the back of their pickup.

Melting pot.

Probably so. A nice blue state, perhaps? And I don't mean "Big Blue."

What was unique to being American previously? Is taking in immigrants new?

That's been my question, too.

If you are asking the question.

 

Freedom , opposed to high taxes , and not supporting foreign parties who are against America. Those were the main founding principles.

Reading the article these people may have a point. I think the argument is they don't feel like a candidate is reaching out to them due to the current political landscape. Politicians are looking to sway minorities and fringe groups and ignoring the majority of the country. I guess this why you see a Trump as a leader, because these people are fed up with being ignored.

 

Much of this is the fault of the electoral system that doesn't split the electoral vote and is so spread out many states have very little interaction with candidates.

 

(See KY) I think Bill was the last candidate that traveled down into KY.

I think you just might be on to something here.

The main demographic should feel that way, because their numbers are decreasing. It's not a major issue, it's not dome big deal where everybody needs to freak out.

 

Old, uneducated, white southerners are a dying breed. More people are going to college, that's the major defining factor with all of this. The white percentage is declining. So, yeah, those people are going to feel that way.

 

I'm not old, nor am I uneducated. So I don't share their view point.

[PP1]

I think the same way about this as I do when Pre-race polls are revealed. No one has ever asked me and I have never known anyone personally who was asked either.

I'm neither old or uneducated but it's kind of ironic talking about ignorance with the statements you just made.
