I don’t even know what to say. The comment RW left sums it up pretty well. I recently moved back to small town America and have definitely noticed a more love of God and country. The deplorable fly over states seem to have figured out that the federal government is a joke. I have learned of community, of gathering to actually talk and connect with neighbors and that all men are created equal. It doesn’t matter that we are different colors and backgrounds, we try to get along because it’s the right thing to do. I hope at some point that the rest of the country realizes that we are being pitted against each other and we finally come together to be better in spite of what the elites are telling us. Put down the phones America and get to know your neighbors, it’s been an awakening for me.

I am so glad for you--what you're describing is real, and terribly important. It makes my blood boil when I hear coastal "opinion makers" mock and deride those values

This is an excellent point. Despite differences in political beliefs, the people in your community are much more important than the gaggle of non-friends in the social media world. I’ve seen this in my own community where neighbors want to stop speaking with neighbors over their political differences and I will say that the majority of people who want to cancel others out are on the left. Strength in our communities has always been the sign of a strong country. As long as people are aggravated, over non-issues mostly, with each other the more money big tech makes. We have to resist turning against each other.
