Do not confuse support for Trump and the opinions of the Alt right with a lack of intelligence amongst Americans.  It runs a lot deeper than that.

Agreed, ingrained in mindsets since the first settlers...

And thankfully ( in the case of "support for Trump), enough of them seeing Hilary for what she was.

The political spectrum is an almost complete circle.

1. On the far right the Nazis, KKK, White Supremacists who want to return to a feudal system, no freedom of speech or action, no property rights, no independent judiciary, kill those that don't fit their idea of a perfect race and not totally dedicated to the cause and all those that express any independence of thought or deed and are a danger to the state and party, state run everything, absolute obedience and mass pauperism and slavery of the populous except for the chosen ones in the party.

2. On the far left you have communists, Marxists, Maoists and Trotskyists who want to return to a feudal system, no freedom of speech or action, no property rights, no independent judiciary, kill all those who don't fit and not totally dedicated to the cause and all those that express any independence in thought or deed and are a danger to the state and party, state run everything, absolute obedience and mass pauperism and slavery of the populous except for the chosen ones in the party.

The far right and far left hate each other where they are both trying to recruit from the same pool of misfits.

I've no time what-so-ever for 1 or 2 where we should banish these misfits from mainstream society and treat them for what they are. Call me old fashioned, but I like my democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of choice, freedom of economic activity, freedom of markets, all people being treated as equals in society and the eyes of the law, property rights, an independent judiciary, every increasing health, age spans, material and economic wealth and will fight with passion to justify and keep them and so should all of you. Be thankful for living in the West, be thankful for living in one of the freest and wealthy countries on earth, be thankful for what I, you and we as a society have got. :y :y :y

I at times take quite a lot of flak, where I have no time for dictators and despots where everything is about them, I will always fight and oppose them and defend our democracy as it is by far the best system this planet has got. :y :y :y

Albs, as we are both well aware, democracy and socialism rarely co-exist.

Socialism is a word that's massively overused, it's come to mean "a bit more left wing than I'm prepared to accept" rather than any proper definition.

I accept your criticism, Nick, but I still regard "Democrat" as a misnomer.

Stalin killed 50 million or so iirc, yet the cretins who are allowed to vote in this country recently came close to electing a group of people who think he is some kind of God.
Some people in the South of the USA,  unfortunately sometimes allow their passion for small govt. freedom of the individual and love of Southern culture. to drag them into a dead end of right wing extremism.
In the grand scheme of things its not a huge problem but must be kept an eye on. The more the liberals from NYC etc. try to combat this by talk of banning the confederate flag, and pulling down statues of people they don't like, and generally forcing non compliance of their version of Liberalism into submission, the more the resistance will grow.
Its a much smaller problem than the far left (Momentum for example) who are coming to have great influence in the UK.
British Jews have more to fear from Corbyns Labour, than US Jews do from the "good ol boys" down in the South.  ;)

Trouble is these 'good ol boys' from the south live in a shack with their sister and their 'momma'.......and after too much moonshine the 'good ol boy' does what comes natural. We then have a new generation of young 'good ol boys'  with a strange number of fingers and toes.

Much like Norfolk and Yorkshire in that respect.

Daisy Duke seemed pretty normal though. :-* :-* :-*
