    Average Americans used to hate slick-talking New Yorkers. Now, they are the archetype of the "Everyman"?

        When John Kerry played hockey it was a liberal east coast game. When Sarah Palin was a hockey mom the sport was American as apple pie.

        I was clearly wrong on premises. My first guess would be city = OK so long as they bow to rural superiority ykwim?

        I think this is more just a function of team ball, not any kind of identity. Narrative follows loyalty.

        Ikwym. Part of why it surprises though is the normal city v rural animosity

        You mean the GOP used to hate slick talking, coastal elites. Now that you found one draped in bluster and racism, you're ok with it.

        Nah, only one particular boorish New Yorker who affects anti-slickness is the archetypical Everyman.
