It's curious that in America, the peoples of the coast demand our inland citizens tolerate and accept other nations inland people's beliefs.
The United States is far and away one of the most multiethnic nations in the world, yet we still insist on crying "not good enough!"
Yet the coastal elite have had little compunction sending the same middle Americans they so revile out into the world as agents of American imperialism to foist upon others like middle-Afghanis and middle-Veitnamese the parts of Americana that the coast likes -- consumerism, secularism, universal suffrage etc.
And guess what? Generally these middle-* people dislike being told that their way of life is wrong, and it typically hardens their resolve -- yielding Daesh and Republican Presidents.
So no, sir, the coast is wrong, and frankly, most of the world is growing tired getting belittled by "tolerant" people.

The coasts have been more strongly anti-war than middle America for a long time.
- bmj 10y agoThe anti-war voices of both the Right and the Left have been marginalized by the Center for a very long time. Do you really believe that Mrs. Clinton is anti-war? Or even Mr. Obama (Nobel Peace Prize notwithstanding)? You are correct, however, that middle America tends to be more honest about their perspectives on aggressive US foreign policy. Many liberals would say "yes, the US should get out of the Middle East" but then they pull the lever for a rather hawkish presidential candidate.
- huffmsa 10y agoCurious, the AUMF 2001 was reupped even when the coasts had a super majority 2008-2010. And while yes, the coasts might be, but it doesn't stop them from letting the Hawkish Midwest go to war.
