This. This is their whole platform. I agree with you here.
What I don't agree with is the idea that being more snobbish than is to one's tastes makes you somehow less than a citizen, which is the whole point of the exercise.
The whole concept of Un-American, is offensive to me.(There is, for example, no conceptual equivalent in Canada, our thinking simply doesn't go down that road.) There is no point in arguing about what criteria to use,in order to disenfranchise ones compatriots, since the very concept is an absurdity. Your fellow citizens are just that, every black hearted one of them.
Of course you are a New Yorker. You live in New York.

They can dictate what they believe to America rather than let Americans decide for themselves.
