Because of the Electoral College, they wield a disproportionate amount of power. Their views are not always in sync with those of mainstream America.
Rural white Americans are disproportionately Evangelical Christians, against abortion, oppose equal rights for LGBTQ people, tend to be more xenophobic and hostile towards progress of any type.
As compared to suburban or urban voters, regardless of party affiliation, they are more conservative on every level.
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.

I live outside of Okeechobee county in Florida ...
democrats Now, they just want to.. let home insurance companies raise their rates without no challenges
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.
