If it seems like the US population base is expanding in its' conservative and hard line tone, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. As the gulf between the rich and the poor becomes larger, and the middle class becomes more burdened, there is an education system that tailors the wealthy and the minority of the population. That means the majority of the population are largely uneducated and the result is a (IMO) ever growing base of crazy people taking stances that are racist, ignorant and altogether ultimately uneducated. It's only going to get worse in my opinion, until the education system returns to a more equal and fair system distributing overall decent quality to all people regardless of their economic upbringing or background.
Until then, American society will continue to slowly fade from greatness.
