Just like we do not understand the workings of the Middle East we find this about turn hard to fathom here in Europe. To understand the American psyche one has to go beyond New York or a trip to Disneyland, hire a car drive through the deep south then you will understand the real America. Yes you will return thinking the Healy Raes are Rhodes Scholars but thats their culture.

The Obama years was like a hand brake turn for middle America, probably too much too soon and now the correction is taking place.

I lived and worked there and outside the big cities on either coast they are really backward in many ways.

In parts of the mid-West it is still the 1950's and some poorer parts of Alabama and Mississippi are akin too parts of Africa.

I did a road trip around the south in 2013 and it was one of the most foreign feeling places I have ever been, despite us speaking the same language and eating (mostly) the same foods etc.

This is why Trump did what he did with his SC nomination.
It will be reversed again as soon as the balance on the SC is reset.
