I think there are profound differences among white cultural subgroups in America. Think of a New Englander whose Puritan ancestors came to America after Cromwell's fall in contrast to a North Dakota Russian-German, a Seattle Norwegian, and a Milwaukee German Socialist. And I haven't even gotten out of the Germanic tribes yet, haven't even started on the various flavors of Celt, Slav, Greek, Italian, Russian versus German Jew, etc.
You don't have to get far under the skin to start finding immense variations in the cultural foundations upon which the politics of each is built.
God, but that would make for an interesting book. I wish I had the time and talent to write it.
