Thom and the Heads posted:also this atlantic article about a modern slave made me tear up at my desk It seems like the author just kinda handwaves away a few decades at some point. I didn't go back and count but it's like "Oh we were a struggling new immigrant family that didn't understand what we were doing, and at 13 I realized my parents enslaved this woman and then whoops everyone's dying of old age."

They're angry about a white national identity disappearing, which is where the "immigration" issue comes from.

mister magpie posted:sean spicer is paid to be wh advocate but is he a true believer spicer is definitely not a true believer which is why he's so loving bad at this he is constantly trying to save the administration from themselves wrt willful disinformation by being as noncommittal as possible. Kellyanne isn't a true believer, but she has no scruples and occupies an unimportant enough position that she can freely parrot whatever the admin tells her. She could never do what she does as press sec because there's too much scrutiny, they can just make her disappear when she does or says something that goes too far. I think Sanders is a true believer though and that is probably why she's never going to be the person doing Spicer's job

Citizen Tayne posted:The coal mines where I grew up were shut down in the 40s Not really. They're pissed off and spiteful, but the rage isn't directed anywhere useful. After Knox everyone knew anthracite wasn't going to come back. But those textile mills and other industrial plants that took advantage of the semiskilled labor in the 60s, that left in the 80s and 90s in the early waves of offshoring? Yeah, people are still sore about that. My grandfather went from being an engineer with a company car to a janitor after his job was sent down south in the mid-80s. People remember that kind of thing, and nearly everyone up there has someone in their family like that.
