1. THREAD. Why is anti-statist resistance to federal support for health insurance, vaccines, voting rights, environmentalism, women’s rights, and collective bargaining so prevalent in the American South?
As I argue here a major reason lies in the region’s history of slavery.
A good friend told me about her handyman, who subjected her to a misogynist, homophobic and, frankly, very scary experience. I'm enraged about the whole thing and can't stop thinking about how men treat women who live alone as their personal entitlement.
