So logically, the “rest of America” must be united by a beautiful solidarity and converging on a true sense of American identity, while separated by walls of self-effacement and self-deprecating other-regard? 🤔😆

It’s neoromanticism/noble savage all over again. “Where did we go wrong understanding the virtues of Noble Hillbilly?” “Get in touch with the Real America” is the new “get in touch with our Paleolithic past”

No political class has a monopoly on being either good or evil, and no class culture is uniquely corrupting or elevating. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Powerlessness corrupts, and absolute powerlessness corrupts absolutely.
