People outside the us know the answer to this. People inside the us also know the answer. It’s just that the answers totally differ. It’s a conservative country seeing the rise (again) of an isolationist, Protestant and anti-immigrant view of life. Unless some external agency appears forcing unanimity on government I would expect the two populations of the us to start litigating themselves apart over the next 5-20 years.
Who can and can’t do things, and who pays the bills will be the cause.
- h2odragon 4y agoI'm and old school redneck in a rural community that values the presence of religious isolationists of varying degrees, immigrants of several origins, as well as "lifestyle choices" ranging from the deeply traditional to "damn thats fucked up." If there is a rising of "an isolationist, Protestant and anti-immigrant view of life" I'm not sure where it is. It appears to inhabit the imaginations of the media in the same way the legions of Satan marched on the Church when that was a sure means of fundraising.
