Where is the outrage???

"At the turn of the 21st century, America's political proclivities have become markedly Red. Not the red of godless communism, but rather the Red of an orthodox, anti-intellectual, simplistic and illiberal right-wing ideology." This was a thought I had (which might be expanded into a longer essay) a day or two after the recent election. I have never felt my cultural, academic and political thoughts and beliefs so insulted and disempowered by the outcome of the election, not just by the individual actors and the fear-mongering tactics of the (now seemingly 100%--another topic!) majority party but also by the mindset of some of the voters who allowed this to happen.
