Define:

Patriotism

Traditional American imagery

Specify precisely what is meant by:

Ideological purity tests - what ideology/ideologies exactly.

Explain how small dollar donors might not align with the broader electorate.

What topics are considered "far left". List all considered far left.

What are the elite circles?

What makes them elite?

What makes a "real" community real?

Conversely, what makes a community unreal?

Why, exactly, the examples listed? (gun shows, churches, tailgates)

List the failures of large cities regarding governance.

Just curious.
