Thanks! I WAS wondering that. I wonder if the Haitian immigrants use a French pronunciation…Charleroi, there's a name I haven't heard in a hot minute. I grew up about 10 miles away in California PA.
EDIT: For anyone wondering, it's pronounced "shall-AH-roy", at least by the locals.
I disagree that sorting is the same as isolation. Meeting multiple times per week with a variety of folks isn't isolation, but it's an ideological echo chamber if roughly everyone you meet with is largely like you in demographics, economic status, and belief system.I think that is social isolation. As TarSpiel said above, the internet changed everything. People can exist within an entirely curated information bubble. If they’re not interacting with people in real life in a meaningful way, then they are socially isolated. I think the social isolation and the ideological sorting you describe go hand in hand.
Like I said, there is no one factor that led to MAGA. Other than capitalism maybe.
I think we can learn a lot about the phoenix- like rise of MAGA if we examine its roots in the late 60s when the country was in turmoil caused by the civil rights victories, the women's movement, and the Viet Nam War.You’re not going to find one factor that led to the rise of MAGA, but I don’t think we get to where we are today without the social isolation we experience as a country that was only exacerbated by Covid.
The use of European or biblical names for cities/towns in the eastern US doesn't really surprise me as folks tend to name things after places they already know.There's a Nazareth, PA, too.
What the hell is PA doing with all their place names?
It's all based in racism, bigotry and Christian nationalism. We already had people like this, but they went crazy after a man of color was elected twice, the gay and trans community starting getting the same rights and treated like everyone else, and the rise of the diversity and inclusion movement. Trump is their savior to being back the country they want only for straight, white Christian nationalists. They can't handle anything different outside their bubble. They are afraid of losing their advantage in society of just being a straight, white Christian. They don't care that Trump is a narcissistic sociopath. That's actually a plus to them because someone like that could give them the fascist nation they want as long as they worship him.You’re not going to find one factor that led to the rise of MAGA, but I don’t think we get to where we are today without the social isolation we experience as a country that was only exacerbated by Covid.
Any societal movement has a lot of inputs and there's really no way to narrow it down to just one.Okay, I see what you’re saying. I think it comes down to the fact that there are multiple drivers of this ideology because I agree with what you’re saying.
Those do look like Nazi posters about the Jews.
I'm halfway through it... and have been for going on two years now... just got so damn depressing seeing the same story repeated again in real time that you're reading about from the past century. I'm convinced one day I'm going to finish it... One day...Just got done reading Rick Perlstein’s book on Barry Goldwater a few months back. 100% these ideas have always been with us. The job of conservatives is to repackage arguments that they’ve been using since the French Revolution. Their job is to make economic privilege popular in an ostensibly democratic system.
I would not be surprised if DeWine brings in the National Guard to protect the schools and municipal buildings in Springfield. These GOP folks talk about Springfield like it is some isolated West Virginia downtrodden community. It is a suburb of Dayton (30 minute drive) and is 45 minutes west of Columbus. The Haitians are in Springfield because jobs were available, jobs the locals weren't interested in. The employers in town are happy to have them. They are in the country legally and are working (and paying taxes) legally.
those are nazi posters. vance didn't actually post them, they're just superimposed below his words for comparison's sake.Those do look like Nazi posters about the Jews.
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead.. (and yes, Nazareth PA is the town referred to in that lyric)...There's a Nazareth, PA, too.
His rhetoric matches the posters.those are nazi posters. vance didn't actually post them, they're just superimposed below his words for comparison's sake.
agreed. just saying that to be fair, he didn't actually post them.His rhetoric matches the posters.
