david thoreau and anna goes. so let's -- and on it goes. let's return to j.d. vance. during the campaign in 2022, he was on his way to new york for a fund raiser and he was meeting a bunch of millionaires, he did not put that in his tweet. he said, i am going to new york, i hear it is violent and disgusting. any advice? that is typical of the anti-urban discourse that has been central to american politics since 1790 and there is not a comparable discourse, as i am afraid she seems to think there is. it is simply unacceptable to talk about rural americans in the same derogatory insulting way that politicians routinely describe american cities. and we have seen that supercharged in the last couple of years. look at the way people talk about san francisco and new york and chicago. there is simply not a comparable discourse. not now, not across 250 years of american history. so i am afraid she just has it wrong. i know that book. she talked with some nice people and made some conclusions that historically just do not
