Total (Culture) War

Writing at The Week, Michael Grunwald takes as his thesis the notion that we drag just about everything into the Red vs. Blue culture war. Sure, he’s on the other (blue) side but the article is even-handed enough for us on the red side to find useful. A sample quote that caught my eye:

Trump didn't create the so-called Big Sort of Americans into two ideologically polarized, geographically and racially segregated, mutually suspicious partisan camps. The rift between the mostly white camp of gun-owning, evangelical-church-going Fox News watchers who live relatively spread out and the more diverse camp of Whole Foods-shopping, funky-café-going NPR listeners who live closer together has been widening for decades.
