Thank you for the link. I will listen to the whole video. I am in the midst of reading Arlie Hochschild’s Strangers In Their Own Land. I am interested in learning what will be discussed here.

... drawn from her experience of being embedded with rural folk in Louisiana...

Sound like a foreign agent who should have been executed for espionage.

What liberals/progressives miss about the true resistance movement in America--a movement whose participants love individual liberty and "resist" the groupthink Progressives.

Such love for individual liberty explains the diverse ideas and opinions among Trump voters.

By the same token, such voters, by and large would subscribe to the following statement from an Edward Stanley Robinson essay:

Freedom is the most valuable of all human possessions, next after life itself. It is more valuable, in a manner, than even 'health. No human agency can secure health; but good laws, justly administered, can and do secure freedom. Freedom, indeed, is almost the only thing that law can secure. Law II cannot secure equality, nor can it secure prosperity. In the direction of equality, all that law can do is to secure fair play, which is equality of rights but is not equality of conditions. In the direction of prosperity, all that law can do is to keep the road open. That is the Quintessence of Individualism, and it may fairly challenge comparison with that Quintessence of Socialism we have been discussing. Socialism, disguise it how we may, is the negation of Freedom. That it is so, and that it is also a scheme not capable of producing even material comfort in exchange for the abnegation of Freedom, I think the foregoing considerations amply prove." - EDWARD STANLEY ROBERTSON. Excerpt - "The Impracticability of Socialism" - Edward Stanley Robertson
