What’s interesting, Dan, is that this is AMERICA. Small town, simple. Cicadae. white, very white. Neighborly. The kind of place w/o worldview context. The kind of place that feels threatened and vulnerable (easily). Closest big town is New Haven, Hartford, and Bridgeport. Insular.
Most people work fairly locally, don't go into the cities often and seldom, if ever venture into NYC, an hour and a half away.
This is AMERICA that is fearful of Ned Lamont. Moves too quickly, seems too young to know anything. "Greenwich millionaire with no political experience," is the line.
Worldview. What the kids learn in the schools. Context. How it all fits together. That is, relationships like Iran-Iraq-US, friend or foe dependent on the weather or the whim of the notorious military-industrial complex.
Interesting. Transformation can come from several places, but shit, it’s not going to start here.
