I’ve been guilty of it too, frankly, taking more than a few sideways glances at NASCAR, for instance, but the truth is this: if progressives can’t figure out a way to speak to the people I see walking down Main Street U.S.A. in Disney’s Magic Kingdom—and that doesn’t mean telling them how the Disney-fication of the culture reinforces racism, classism, and patriarchy—then all hope is lost for a better society.
