"I consider myself fairly liberal. My family has mostly voted Democratic since long before I was born. To be honest, for years, even I have struggled to understand how these conservative friends and neighbors I respect — and at times admire — can think so differently from me,"

While rural conservatives, living by traditional values and worshipping in the Judeo-Christian traditions, are portrayed as ignorant rubes, what does it say about adults who go berserk and cry because they lost an election? College students who are reduced to tears and emotional collapse because their candidate didn't win? Or those who pitched a fit in the streets with violence night after night, not to mention the young man who was tortured because he was a Trump supporter? Once again we ate dinner at Norma's Cafe with the parents of my band leader friend and they are a sweet couple, but they both hate republicans and religiously observant people and fill their Facebook pages with the most ridiculous quotes--she says if you voted for Trump you're an a**hole--needless to say we don't discuss politics. This kind of thing borders on the pathological that people are so invested in the importance of government that it drives them mad when they loose--to me that is much more signifcant than this author's whining about the values of conservatives. Politics has just never seemed that significant to me.
