A truly sharp person would realize that all humans have the same rights and deserve the same basic needs met. That is something that any sharp person would care about, because rights denied anywhere is rights denied everywhere, and rights denied to anyone is rights denied to you and me too.

Well said.  This is actually a defining issue of our times.  Of all people, David Brooks, conservative columnist for the NY Times, made that case in detail, and fretted about the 60 years we have spent dividing everyone into separate camps or, worse, into single units.  We're all human and have the need for the same things, including the understanding and support of our fellow humans.  There's no future in Bowling Alone.

Yup.
Yep. You might as well get used to the idea of Bowling Alone and paying your own way because America is in the process of further separating right now. You want to live your life sitting on a couch, smoking pot and being paid for nothing then you move to a blue area where living that way is viewed as acceptable as long as you vote Democratic.

We blues don't accept the dichotomy between understanding the need for support of fellow humans, and living life on a couch smoking pot and being paid for nothing. That dichotomy is the red ideology, I understand that; and it's got you hooked; but it has no relation to reality. But I understand, a lot of reds want to separate from the blues and live in that fantasy. It won't work for you, but if you guys want to try it and separate from blue America somehow, I am not of a mind to stop you.
