The fact that the self-interest conversation is so completely focused on red-state conservatives just reinforces the idea that there is an elite ruling class looking down at people whose votes are shaped by the values they learned in the small towns (like the one I live in) of Middle America.

When I first hit the presidential campaign trail as a reporter chasing the likes of Bob Dole, Jesse Jackson, George H.W. Bush and a young Al Gore across the farm fields of Middle America in 1988, I stumbled across a silver-haired man at a greasy-spoon restaurant in La Crosse, Wis.

Allies of Mr. Trump and the association describe their political alliance as a marriage forged out of urgent necessity: an unlikely pairing of a former gun-control proponent who lives in a Manhattan skyscraper with an advocacy group typically seen as speaking for gun manufacturers and the hunters and sportsmen of Middle America.

Nevertheless, in recent years, too many on the left appear to have abandoned any sort of moderate consensus on the issue, with the pragmatism of "safe, legal and rare" in some cases even giving way to the ideological purism of "shout your abortion," presumably hoping no one in middle America would notice.

Even as the actual cuisines of Asia influence and sometimes appear to dominate American food culture — David Chang's Momofuku restaurants, Roy Choi's Kogi barbecue-fueled empire, ramen joints and izakaya and Mission Chinese Food by Danny Bowien — these stereotypes persist and control a lot of what's on the menu in Middle America.

While some 2020 candidates are expected to make explicit their appeal in Middle America, Ms. Gillibrand, at least among the Democrats from coastal blue states, can point to her initial representation of a heavily Republican and more rural House district as a sign of her experience, if not electability, with such voters.

As a nominal East Coast elitist who works for a paper accused by red-state right-wingers of spawning "fake news," he parachutes into flyover country (or maybe he's tossed out of a tornado), hits the ground hard and appears to wake up and fall in love with the "not quite" middleness of Middle America.

But of all the outlying pockets of Trump supporters in New York, perhaps the most distinct lay six miles south of the Clinton campaign headquarters: the Orthodox Jewish community of Borough Park, a neighborhood in Brooklyn that would seem to have little in common with Middle America, where Mr. Trump drew most of his support.

Patriotic Americans mobilizing to protect marginalized communities from verbal or physical or other attack, Americans divesting from the financial industries that rob middle America, Americans refusing to pay taxes that militarize our main streets or support the killing of innocents overseas, and Americans shutting down fossil fuel pipelines before they further threaten health and habitat.

"So we are here today to show middle America our beautiful signs and, through our beautiful actions and intention, that they have been misled -- that the seeds of hate that were small and maybe just ignorance cannot be watered, and that hate cannot grow because we are here to assist them in promoting love," Simmons told the crowd.

And while the eventual nominee can talk about what he or she promises to do, President Trump can show, brick by brick and job by job, how much he has fought, and continues to fight, for the forgotten men and women of Middle America in his promise to "Make America Great Again" through 2020 and beyond.

But I also feel lucky in that, in this weird way, because I am someone people notice because of bands I play in, and I get this cool amount of support from people, versus the teen who's living in middle America somewhere in a small town who has to deal with a lot more bullshit than I have to.

Trump Jr.'s interest in hunting and close friendships with gun enthusiasts and people who enjoy the outdoors — so foreign from the New York elite world his father long operated in — have endeared him to some conservatives and to his father's Middle America supporters while also riling animal rights activists who criticized his big game hunting trips in Africa.

"In both Middle America and Middle England, among both rednecks and chavs, voters who have had more than they can stomach of being patronized, nudged, nagged and basically treated as diseased bodies to be corrected rather than lively minds to be engaged are now putting their hope into a different kind of politics," Brendan O'Neill wrote in The Spectator.

In a campaign marked by insults and inflammatory rhetoric, Trump tapped into a deep vein of unhappiness running through white Middle America, giving voice to millions who felt left behind in the rush to globalization and who eschewed traditional establishment Republicans like Bush in favor of a brash political outsider who promised to "Make America Great Again".

Some straight bloke in middle America might be listening to "Heaven Is a Place On Earth" while driving to work in his car thinking it's just a regular power ballad, but if he winds down his windows and a queer person overhears, they'll know that it is, in fact, one of this gen's most meaningful lesbian anthems.

"The storytelling around what big mergers are going to mean for consumers and voters, and where those are positioned, where they might end up costing Middle America more of their hard-earned dollars, that's where I think you're going to see some real trepidation as to whether these big mergers are going to go through," Glover said.

"As the only one of the four congressional leaders who isn't from the coastal states of New York or California, I view it as my job to look out for middle America and of course Kentucky in particular," he wrote in a May op-ed for Kentucky Today, the online publication of the Kentucky Baptist Convention.

The storytelling around what big mergers are going to mean for consumers and voters and where those are positioned, where they might end up costing middle America more of their hard-earned dollars, that's where I think you're going to see some real trepidation as to whether these big mergers are going to be able to go through.

Kaylornation is run by a 19-year-old college student named Erin, who is part of a subset of Swift fans who believe that the singer is gay—or at least bisexual—and has spent most of her career covering that fact with a series of beard boyfriends intended to keep her image middle-America wholesome and her name consistently in the press.

Why it matters: Political and economic dynamics are forcing companies and investors to pay more attention to business activity in middle America, where many workers feel left out of the booming economies of the coastal cities (think San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, New York and Boston.) Following the recession, start-up formation stalled outside of the big tech hubs like Silicon Valley.

"[Kids] from middle America, to smaller towns in Australia, to all over the world — if they don't quite understand why they don't quite feel comfortable in a dress, but all their friends wear dresses, or if they're a boy and they want to wear a dress or they want to wear a skirt, they're gonna get picked on," she said.

He's a Jewish-Mexican-American with blue-collar roots who tries to connect by describing his childhood neighborhood as "middle America in LA." He's also a Rhodes Scholar with undergraduate and master's degrees from Columbia University who studied at the London School of Economics and went on to become mayor of a city that is home to the wealthy, famous and liberal elite.

The next time you hear some Fake News reporting that President Trump is not doing enough in this administration to increase national security or help middle America to create jobs, remember that the quiet sabotage of the Trump agenda is happening in the Senate today with the Democrats slow-walking and blocking qualified nominees to make our federal government fail.

Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren have rolled out introductions that touch on their identities and the need to examine economic inequality through the lens of race and gender, Klobuchar again tacks more moderate, largely sidestepping anything that could be construed as "identity politics" and instead homing in on the white, middle America identity that many white voters seem to believe is simply neutral.

" I wish the contemptible "students" who disrupted his lecture at Middlebury College earlier this year — not one of whom I'll bet had ever read a word of his — would read "Coming Apart" and then look in the mirror and realize: "Oh God, I'm a member of that loathsome coastal cognitive elite that is completely out of touch with middle America.

We need to ensure this happens at campuses across the entire U.S., not just in places like California, Texas, and New York, because if young people do not feel the need to leave Middle America to find next generation education, they will be more likely to stay in a state like Indiana or Missouri to start their own company or pursue other job opportunities.

" He expressed the hope that they would remember him not as "one of those 'coastal elites' dripping with contempt and condescension toward Middle America," he wrote, but "rather, as that guy from 'up north' who appeared on the next bar stool one Friday after work, asked about their job and life and hopes for the future, and thought what they said was important enough to write down.

While Champaign is the kind of Corn Belt town that is often upheld as prototypically Middle America — predominantly white, Christian and Republican — Hoganson discovered it was far from a backwater: Her neighbors bought imported goods at the same big box stores that dotted the rest of the country; they ate produce from Mexico and Chile and kept in touch with family members who had migrated to coastal cities.

And when he goes out to Middle America — I recommend watching his visit to Memories Pizza in Indiana, the small-town pizzeria subjected to a two-minute hate because its owners said they might not cater a gay wedding — he presents himself (posh-sounding accent and all) as an ambassador from the cosmopolitan reaches of society, here to apologize for the terrible behavior of his fellow snobs and globe-trotters.

From the president ordering a well-done steak and eating it with ketchup — which I can attest is the norm for many in middle America — or his love of McDonald's, or his attacking the press for a "lack of understanding" of how he's trying to "Make America Great Again," while the focuses may seem micro for the moment, I do suspect to see a macro-targeted approach of the issues as Trump's presidency continues.

For a very long time I questioned whether the kind of work I write, fantasy that isn't particularly interested in medieval Europe and old Western myths and, in some cases, science fiction that isn't interested in the typical Golden Age future that you used to see, where you saw Middle America, straight white guys, up in space doing things with phallically shaped spaceships and weapons, and spreading democracy and truth, justice and the American way — I've never been interested in that.

STRAKA: Well, I just became more aware as time went on that the identity politics and politically correct culture was getting very out of control, but in terms of me actually switching parties, it was after the election of Donald Trump because I voted for Hillary and I was on Facebook crying, wondering what had gone wrong, what happened to the good people of Middle America, but a friend of mine reached out to me and showed me a YouTube clip which basically a compilation of footage showing all of these different ways in which the media had taken moments out of context in Donald Trump&aposs campaign and spun it and created a narrative that he was a racist, a bigot, a homophobe.
