The bubble does not exist in these large centers of population. The majority of Americans cannot live in the bubble, it's the minority that does. The minority holds onto a vision of an America that is a manufacturing nation that does not need to protect the rights of the LGBT community. An America where the population of their state may be anywhere from a quarter to half the population of LA, but where LA, with its extreme diversity in nearly every single metric, does not represent America. An America that cannot understand what's  racist about someone calling Michelle Obama an "ape in heels" on facebook, but like a facebook post where Ted Nugent uses the n word. 

Eloquent and spot on.
