Mortimer completely misunderstands how culture works and additionally conflates culture and institutions.

Are you seriously saying that there is absolutely no link between culture and institutions?

[AtorBoltox]

Is Mortimer some sort of relic from the 19th century who has' travelled in time to the modern day? Good god, do you also believe in phrenology as well?

Or just a guy who probably does really good barbecue for someone living in New York..

ITT WillipsBrighton embraces #MAGAism to the fullest.

The man openly supports eugenics and is easily the most racist person who posts here.

I've been upgraded!

As we learned, it is one thing to live in a state (especially a swing state) -it is quite another to be a registered voter, and actively voting there. 

Are they doing the latter?   

[Rookie Yinzer]

Hopefully these people are voting. Hispanic voter turnout LAGS behind White and Black turnout by at least 15-20 percentage points.

Not surprised PA is #2. Many Puerto Ricans were already living in Philadelphia half of the year to work and the other half in PR. If they come out and vote this can help combat Western Pennsylvania's embrace of the GOP and PRs can combat white retirees in FL.

I think there will be many coming to NC and GA as well. The 2020 Dem ticket needs someone who can excite black and Latino voters in the Sun Belt.

btw can i just say that pages 2 and 3 of this thread were total f**kfests

Nope, don't be silly. But there is actually not much evidence for these cultural effects you fantasize about - most research I've seen suggest that the dominant factor is institutions rather than "culture".
