But when you say "culturally unified," what do you mean exactly?  Like we should all be Christian conservatives?

He's talking about a fantasy world where there is only one American culture and one version of American history and no need to do anything about perceptions of inequality besides suppress them.
And that's how it would be implemented.  The only way it ever could be.  Suppress and ignore undesired speech.
There are Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Latinos, Whites, Asians, and atheists who all subscribe to versions of this.  They each think they get to be the ones in charge of implementing it.

I think I am starting to understand your hatred of the Donald.  You both share that narcissistic gene.

Here's what I wrote:

Quote:[Elements of the right want a world where...] there is only one American culture and one version of American history and no need to do anything about perceptions of inequality besides suppress them.

Here's your reply:

Quote:You just described the democrat philosophy and playbook. Unwittingly of course

I was not describing the Democrat playbook.  At all.  And I explained the major difference:

Quote:Democrats highlight inequality and try to sell themselves as people who can solve it.  

Democrats make sure to over-emphasize diversity to the point where people believe that about a quarter of the population is queer when it's really more like a sixteenth.

These are things that Republicans do not do. They do not embrace diversity. They brush over economic inequality and sanitize queerness.

“He's talking about a fantasy world where there is only one American culture and one version of American history and no need to do anything about perceptions of inequality besides suppress them.

Here is your FULL quote.  There is only one side that wants to sanitize history.  There is only one side that suppresses free speech.
