Actually, America was held hostage by 3,084 of its 3,141 counties ... essentially everywhere but the inner city ghettos, urban liberal elites, illegal immigrants, some poor dirt farmers, and a few Indian reservations.

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.

Fine.. all the red areas can cut off all their food and energy supply
this is why you destroy evil. otherwise it thinks its good, and good is evil.
I said 10 minutes ago The Hill was a good site.
I take it back. In spades.
In fact, I’ll print this article a dozen times and leave in the bathroom.
Crybaby bitches. They have ALL of the msm and cry like faggots about AM radio and FOX.
I’ve not ONCE listened to a radio talk show and stopped watching FOX 18 months ago, and I STILL voted Trump.
AND I have a college degree.
From what I read in the msm pre election, only SIX people with college degrees in the WHOLE country were gonna vote for Trump.
And two of THOSE were mail in diplomas from Libya.
There’s no “coexisting” with these people. Get ready for the consequences of that.

Duane certainly has his panties in a wad .kinda makes a good start to the day.
” I for one will not be contorting myself to “give Trump a chance” or seek common ground with you.”
We respect your opinions as long as they match ours. Compromise is agreeing with them.
Actually, America was held hostage by 3,084 of its 3,141 counties ... essentially everywhere but the inner city ghettos, urban liberal elites, illegal immigrants, some poor dirt farmers, and a few Indian reservations.
Well, America wouldn’t eat except for the flyover states.
I wonder how many bellys DC would fill with all their hot air...
I can’t wait to beat the shiite out of our hostages.
One of the most amazing things about this cycle is how the left has become so inflexible and incapable of discussion.
They really believe that anyone who disagrees is stupid, uneducated, a rube, and a racist. Their message: you are with us or we will hate you.
Meanwhile, the irony in this article is thick. You could flip everything he says over and write the exact same article about the urban areas, liberals, and democrats.
But the writer is too self centered to see that.
Way beyond Trump Derangement, this bozo is still sulking over Reagan.
The Arkansas legislature gained 3 new Republican representatives recently. It wasn’t necessary to vote for them as this author claims—they quit.
Beats being held hostage by the Clintons
I encourage Duane to go on a hunger strike in his self-made prison.
Totally untrue. I have heard the term "flyover country" since the early 90s, and I am betting it was used before that time...
Duane, you indoctrinated fool. It is the small number of elite liberals who have obviously brainwashed you and tens of millions of other Americans who hold positions of power in government, academia, and the media who hold this nation hostage. Some of us have been able to free ourselves from their grip while complete dolts like you still remain their captive.

The old “Flyover Country” rant has become so tiresome from these bitter Urbanites clinging to their New York Times & Starbucks’ lattes...
