Yes. This country has a 10/90 split between the authoritarians (who mostly live in large cities and are themselves in semi-authoritarian conditions - New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, etc. [0]) and the rest of the people (the Silent Majority) who live in suburbia and the Middle of NoWhere. Unfortunately the Silent Majority just wants to be left alone. They are getting more vocal (Tea Party during the Obama years, most pro-Trumpers, others) but they are slow to act and lack any sense of retaliation when they are shut down [1]. They think if they keep their heads down the totalitarian system developing at a national level will leave them alone.
