Key takeaway: The vast, vast majority of Americans simply are not “activist.” They don’t like hyper-politicization of everything. It’s harder and harder to poll them accurately for lots of reasons, but among them: They dislike Beltway-Manhattan elites of left and right and won’t
talk to pollsters who will manipulate their answers. Americans have never liked being pushed around. The sense I get from my audience —a million folks so bigger than some smaller than others— is disgust with D.C., left and right.
