That's easy. America's gap between your so called blues and reds is decided by periodic elections, free press and majority rule. Elections result in politicians that set national/state/local policies. The press evaluates and criticizes the policies up the wazoo. The next election results in a repeat with the effective policies usually remaining, the ineffective policies getting change. It's called PROGRESS. But that's the thing.......there are segments of the population who don't agree with other segments partly because they have not progressed as fast as the other segments. Their educational and income limits are lower. Their POVs are reinforced by their ideology and/or religion. And I suspect this has been the status quo for probably over 100 years. Its only now that they are becoming more visible because they are demanding we follow their path. So then, how do we close this gap and get more in sync?
