Couple of things.

I have long thought that 85% (arbitrary) of the population ignored politics. This regime may have changed that. How much, I dont know. If a lot, great, because there is a Basis in the people that understands the American Idea. Free Enterprise, Least Government, self determination, private property, etc.

Drum’s an idiot. He has no more idea of the American culture than an islam or a hottentot. America doesnt live in New York or Wash. DC or LA or their environs. Its in Greensboros and Marions and Thomasvilles and Plainsvilles and Jeffersons and Madisons and a host of other towns and cities where Americans spend Sundays in Church and Wednesday nights in Prayer Meetings and Tuesdays in County Commission Meetings. Any other vision of America is simply bullshit. The people that go to these fnctions understand the Bill of Rights (ALL of it) and how it supports their lives. Pity the fool who mistakes their quietude for ignorance and passivity.
