Good lord. Canadian academics are worse than ours.
The concept of “desacralization of democratic institutions” is exactly the problem with today’s Left.
Democratic institutions are - BY DEFINITION - meant to be of, for, and by The People. If they cease to be low-brow they cease to be democratic.
Even the Roman Empire appreciated the value of bread and circus.
UFC and dirt bikes hold no fascination for me. But both are very popular with a deep and wide swath of Americans.
Those Americans have the same rights and the same challenges as opera fans - and are entitled to the same respect.

thinking that section 8 (landlord giveaways) is the *only* way the poor are housed in america is crazy. theres also a huge swath of ppl who just arent eligible for whatever reason, plus the waitlists are crazylong. but i dont spend time talking about that, youre so right, yimbot.
Demon tests for these leftist housing people is Faircloth and section 9. If they don't mention these at all they are European larpers who don't understand how the poor get housed in America (also section 8 )

When he says feminist, I don’t think he’s referring to egalitarianism. I think he’s referring to women like Firestone, Dworkin, Daly Ect….and the swath of women who promote unapologetic misandry (like yourself) online. Ideal/reality

His parents failed him, a huge swath of his culture failed him. Hes the one doing the time so you race hustlers can keep hustling.

I'd like Ann to explore if their hatefulness and vicious racism isn't partly due to a large swath of their culture being a matriarchy living on the dole.

The last vote was a few yrs ago. US will never “cut it loose” due to it’s strategic position in the Carib (like Guam). The US media loves quoting ONLY the stupid progressives but believe me a huge swath of people are very conservative.

🌀 There remains some risk of tropical development in the western Gulf this week. The disturbance that initially failed to develop and moved into #Mexico is currently inland, but will slowly migrate into south #Texas over the next couple of days as a weak cold front approaches from the north.
🌀 The associated subtropical jet will impose westerly winds aloft that will push thunderstorm activity offshore, possibly dragging the disturbance back over water off the Texas coastline. While the system would be sheared in an imperfect environment, time over water would open an opportunity for a brief tropical cyclone to form.
🌀 Ensemble guidance outlines this scenario as a distinct but minority possibility, with most members either keeping the disturbance inland over Texas or otherwise failing to organize. The National Hurricane Center currently puts odds of storm development at 30%.
🌀 Regardless, a period of heavy rains is expected to spread through southeast #Texas, #Louisiana, and other northern gulf coast states. The NWS Weather Prediction Center outlines a wide swath of slight to moderate risk for excessive rainfall and flash flooding mid-week.

What about wipers that moved in opposite directions rather than in parallel and left an unwiped swath down the middle of the windshield...?

I don't know who needs to hear this but if you take a swath of the third world and plop it into the first world, you end up with a swath of third world in the first world.
Do this often enough and you become the third world.

I'm getting a feeling that there's a large swath, perhaps a generation, of doctors that your comment applies to. For some maybe it is because they don't know but I think for many they learned that verbal coercion is an appropriate method of forcing the "right" choice

Not exactly fear, more like this is what led to a big swath of car fans deciding that acceleration is not such a big deal after all.

Unbelievable ability to influence society given to a man who knows pretty much nothing about philosophy and is so pathetic he larps video games of all things. A vast swath of his wealth was inherited from emerald mines with slave conditions, and crony subsidies, etc I could go on

Well, Marc, the Mexicans don't currently occupy a swath of southwestern United States up to the Colorado river, do they? If they did, and our government (like Lebanon's) said "It's no big deal", then a group of Patriots would rise up and launch attacks into Mexico.
