Baltimore and Detroit have obvious examples but this has happened to families from coast to coast. And then there’s “financial losers” (his words) like me who didn’t make it over the bump into homeownership and have been pushed around by gentrification.

With conservatives it’s never any random good fortune or bad fortune. You either “busted your ass” or you didn’t.

America has Democrats who are far right and Republicans who ultra far right.
