Yes. I would say that they do pose a threat to standard American values.
So conservatives do not represent "standard American values"? Where do you live? San Francisco? Those ARE American values. Just because you don't like them doesn't make a difference. The electoral college is there to protect the vast majority of America from Progressive Communism.

Hold on, is that not blacks who voted 70% in favor of California's Prop 8? Why yes it is, yet you want to make some stereotype about rural whites?

Is that not blacks at the Philly high school harassing and committing violence towards Asians due to their race? Why yes it is. Yet you stereotype rural whites?

Is that not blacks who commit per capita, a higher rate of hate crimes than any other group? Yet you want to stereotype rural whites?

The whole "nobody took your guns" is like a would be robber that gets thrown down and thwarted by a potential victim and then saying "but I never stole anything"

Something for you to consider...

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/pres.../cb16-210.html
People who live in rural areas are more likely to own their own homes, live in their state of birth and have served in the military than their urban counterparts, according to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

Last month, the Ancient Order of Hibernians slammed Joy Reid for what they say were racist comments about Irish Americans. Next month it will be someone else, she's just your average flame thrower.

Florida homeowner's insurance rates have risen substantially while under the GOP controlled FL Governor, State House and State Senate. Don't try to blame Florida's massive home insurance rates on Democrats. Republicans have controlled Florida state government for the past 19 years.
