Youn need to get out of the city more.
It is is not nearly as gated as you think. There is however a values adjustment which occure in the suburbs, It is a "chase the American Dream" mentality. Its about protecting the kids and financial security. Its about aspiration to greater comfort and ease of life. It's about the working out of the Protestant work ethic.
Its a view that government stands in the way of the accumulation of wealth. Not Affluence but enough to have piece of mind and comfort.
Dems get painted as being against the rich and we have no response that appeals to those who aspire to affluence.
