How to tell if you're in the mainstream of American thinking
How to tell if you’re in the mainstream of American thinking | MND: Your Daily Dose of Counter-Theory
Are you in the mainstream of American thinking? Do you have what it takes to be a member of Congress, president of the United States, reporter, pundit, K-12 teacher, college professor, or other trusted influencer or leader? Do you have the proper view of government, the economy, and other subjects?
To find out, take this simple test. Good luck!"People constantly speak of 'the government' doing this or that, as they might speak of God doing it. But the government is really nothing but a group of men, and usually they are very inferior men." - H.L. Mencken

Liberals always insist they aren't liberal and they are, in fact, in the mainstream.

I don't care if I'm mainstream or not. I care about being principled.
I'm glad I failed that test with flying colors.

according to that test if you don't quite have the intelligence to wipe the drool from your lips , you are mainstream.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

Actually, Oneida is now a silverware company and New Harmony failed because of a huge fire. But anyway, since the majority of Americans apparently voted Democrat in the presidential election, doesn't that make liberalism mainstream?
I mostly just do whatever Oprah tells me to.
