The (expletive deleted) we don't, we think for a living while you guys find ways to live off the same group/tribe. It too bad that you you don't know what an American is or what their about  or what America means or means to us at this point in your life. You're one of the dumbest people that I've ever met and I've met a lot of people.

To those who are familiar with dictionaries, most words have several definitions.  You figure out which one is intended through context.  With ‘American’ we have Classic unable to communicate if he cannot redefine his own personal definition.  It seems obvious there is more than one such.

The WEIRD / Tribal distinction seems as prevalent as any to distinguish between what Classic and the various blue folk are talking about.  The red, rural, Cavalier, Republican perspective is of a group of people who share certain racial traits and feeling of kinship.  They believe America exists for the benefit of their particular group.  The blue, urban, Roundhead, Democratic perspective is a bunch of people who share certain ideas.  Unfortunately, some of the ideas suggest the group should not exist or have power.

I am doubtful that so long as Classic and many other people are locked into a particular perception of ’their’ group existing, they will reject the fact than certain ideas holding all are equal, that all are one.

I don’t know if this is the basic distinction, but at some basic level the two factions in holding conflicting perspectives are talking past each other.
