    Tell me you know nothing of American political history without telling me you know nothing of American political history.

      ?

      “Historically” I meant like 1980-2015 or so

      Was I not aware? I thought the big liberal cities on the coasts were the centers of activism, and the middle and the Southeast mostly got preyed upon by the American Thatcherites, and either said “More please” or “Aaaaah it hurts” with none of this “Fuck you stop that” energy that’s coming into play now. But maybe I was unaware of an activist history there?
