A flyover state is the huge region between the coasts. As opposed to the eastern seaboard, northern post-industrial states and Pacific Ocean states. They’re overwhelmingly Republican, stanchly conservative, regressive right wing, evangelical Christian and working class, well, the loudest, most ill-informed of them are. The term wasn’t commonly used in a political manner until recently with the emergence of the Tea Party and the election of Obama.

Since the inception of the term silent majority almost 50 years ago, and all of its iterations since, this block of voters was hardly a majority and never silent. This group has been exceedingly adept at dominating the narrative in virtually every election cycle. They’re proficient at dog-whistle propaganda, and since the mid-1980s, they’ve created their own media echo-chamber which exponentially multiplies the sound of their own voices, with no interference from outside sources. This was accomplished mainly with coast to coast a.m. radio stations broadcasting 24/7 right-wing indoctrination, to conservative patriot and alt-right conspiracy theory websites of the last 15 years which disseminate tragic half-truths and whole fake news.
The alleged silent majority is deafening and easily provoked. They reside in their own echo-chamber bubble of indignation about everything from "New York values" (urban, ethnic rights, LGBT, social justice), to the war on Christmas and Black Lives Matter. They mocked and derided all people’s protests from Occupy to #NoDAPL. Their old standbys are opposing a woman’s right to choose, reinstituting school prayer and eradicating "big government." They hate progress. Their idea of American values is straight from circa 1870.

When did the meaning of “progress” become “deluded, expedited advancement towards self-destruction”?
((
When the left became a band of nazis.
I call them prognazis.
The business of America is business
What you are saying is that making money usurps patriotism. Screw you bub.
The results of the last election said Free Traitors™ are not wanted in the Republican Party.
Nuke Silicon Valley.
Wrong as usual. The flyover states ARE America.
Patriotism has nothing to do with it. To raise that false flag means you lose the argument
Getting rid of H-1B visas would be like a nuclear bomb going off in SillyCone Valley.
Well there you go again.
I grew up in flyover country and now live about 70 miles north of the DC swamp. But, I’m still a flyover boy and live my life accordingly.
Drain the swamp.
I’ve seen this Coexist meme before but never really looked at it. It seems I need to purchase a Glock, a Beretta and a Winchester to complete the set.
“Stanchly,” should be staunchly. Good lord, I find the misuse of words, the “—ization.” of words and deplorable grammar tiresome.
The left is so delusional, lets see they control the caliphate of Califorizona, Philayorkton, FortladMiami and the duchies of Portland, Killcago, and Colojuana.
They have screwed up their areas and now they want to screw up the rest of the country. I say deport this unhappy citizens along with the illegal immigrants and terrorist.
Is he as concerned about the California legislature?
There will never be a Pubbie on the ticket for Governor/Senator since Cali changed the rules.
Maybe if Duane had applied himself as much as he did in this article he would be a successful person. It’s a shame, but typical non-motivated liberal that blames his status in life on whitey!
The left has an unlimited numbers of these types of malcontents that want to complain and stir up trouble among the masses instead of rolling up their selves and contributing to society in a positive way!
Mr. Townsend you are the reason for the problems of the inner city and until you realize that the problem is not the conservatives, but the damn liberal democrats that take you for granted and treat you like cattle and then laugh at you behind your backs while they eat oysters and drink champagne on the Potomac.
The dems are going to be in the woods for a very very long time if they can’t figure out why they lost.
That’s so the east and west coast states with the higher populations don’t choose the president.
I’d suggest that the UAW sowed the seeds of its own destruction.
Embrace diversity....
With that level of vitrol fuming inside him, Duane won’t be with us much longer. Either a heart attack or misspoken words within earshot of the wrong company will do him in.
Liberalism is Hate!
