But the common culture of America is not only present—it’s still dominant today.
The only way any democrat can be elected is to pretend to have a foundational set of traditional American values. And if any voice support for anti-American values, they go home losers.
Also, see post #70 above.
No it isn’t. There is no common culture. This is a country with 3 different names for the same sandwich, 4 different major traditions for the same style of cooking meat, the idea that there is a common culture here is laughable.
What foundational set of traditional American values did Obama run on? Or Bill Clinton? They both voiced a lot of support for anti-American values and moved right into the White House.
