I'm being serious and not making fun of anyone. Is Fox Propaganda aping Reader's Digest now? Why would you post a link to an article about an article?The original column is something that people on this board should read. Two of my favorite quotes: Then there is the refusal on the part of wealthy progressives to live by the values they profess to support at the national level. Creating dense, economically and socially diverse urban environments ought to be a paramount goal of progressivism. Cities are the standard geographical unit of the global economy. Dense urban areas are quite literally the “real America” — the cities are where two-thirds of Americans live, and they account for almost all national economic output. Urban areas are the most environmentally friendly way we know of housing lots of people. We can’t solve the climate crisis without vastly improving public transportation and increasing urban density. More than that, metropolises are good for the psyche and the soul; density fosters tolerance, diversity, creativity and progress.(emphasis added). Also this: In America the “local” problems plaguing cities are systematically sidelined by the structure of the national media and government, in which the presidency, the Senate and the Supreme Court are all constitutionally tilted in favor of places where no one lives. (There are more than twice as many people in my midsize suburban county, Santa Clara, as there are in the entire state of North Dakota, with its two United States senators.) Obviously Fox Propaganda isn't going to reference that. |

I tend to agree with the original opinion piece. If there is one thing liberals and conservatives agree on, is that they will attack even the vaguest threat to their home and family. |

The difference is, Trump's wall, while misguided, ostensibly protects all Americans. Gated communities and private security only protect those who can afford them, as far as their residents are concerned they wouldn't care if it was a post-apocalyptic wasteland beyond their gates.Probably the same sentiment among the wall folk, but their attitude is still inherently more inclusive than rich liberals. |
