...Culture wars are not about actual historical facts, but a tribal conflict over culture between clashing groups. This is a conflict in which it mattered a great deal that northeastern elites were lining up to get $400 tickets to see Hamilton, a hip-hop musical praised by many of the same Republicans who wouldn’t be caught dead watching reruns of the Dukes of Hazzard. That New York theater trend led to Southerner Andrew Jackson being displaced on the currency instead of New York’s own Alexander Hamilton.

Excellent piece! It makes it very frustrating when you have many 'republicans' applauding your/our own demise. Lamenting the leftist but then supporting them and helping them destroy.
We are about to enter The Age of Trump. We are in the post PC era. The Liberal vision has failed us and a new vision is about to be born. Let us hope its a better world and a world that will give us the hope promissed but not given by Obama. Trump may well be the uniter that Obama couldn’t be.
