A myth fostered by the American right.

Conservatives are to blame for everything wrong.

You're ideology is just a perfect one and if we all lived under it things would be great. All conservatives should just go rot in hell.

Right?

I don't think my ideology is perfect. I think it's better than the right-wing extremism currently supported by the Republican party that has damaged our country so much in the past 3 decades.

Extremism? Not hardly. Populism is what's been running this country the past 30 years.

"Mainstream America" seems to have nativist and white supremacist connotations; I guess that's why conservatives love it so much. The phrase is inherently exclusionary, because it implies an "out-of-the-mainstream America," and not positively.

I actually believe in a "mainstream America" but it is nothing like the stupid nostalgic one the Republicans have made up.
America is a land of immigrants from all places. There is no mainstream America except the Anglo-Saxon America fanatical conservatives wish to preserve.

LOL, The drones around here are so funny.
