He later learned that a carefully crafted Red-suburban version of reality isolated him from nearly everything real. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Red truth\" was a strange morph of God, Patriotism, and Republicans. When this uniquely Red-suburban mentality played a role in winning President George W. Bush a second term in late 2004, Schilke began an investigation into the driving factors behind his Red upbringing, which still persist and thrive today in suburban and rural America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom carefully-guarded moral relativism, to the Army's questionable recruiting techniques; from Major League Baseball's tainted home run records, to the myth of the Ownership Society; Schilke maps these current events back into the perspective of his Red upbringing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy does Red-suburban middle-America consistently vote against its own interests in election after election? \u003ci\u003eGrowing Up Red\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to show that, in Red America, it is simply the patriotic thing to do.
