the residents i spoke to in that community really feel like they live in a christian community that takes care of themselves and they don't need more organization. for them, the republican party really makes sense. in the wisconsin town i studied, it is a bit of an outlier. it is still voting democratic. we still have these politically engaged unions, which is pretty rare. there, those unions are still electing folks to office to try to pass policies for organized labor and a lot of the residents there think of themselves as a community that has been disadvantaged by big structural economic forces and they believe that more government distribution will help them in the community. for them, the democratic party makes sense. like i said, this community is a real outlier, partly because it is still voting really democratic when other largely white cities have turned to the right and partly because of the organized labor movement. that community really tells us something about both the power of the labor movement in shaping contemporary politics. it is strong enough to keep that one town in a

because there is fiber-based communication, speed it is high and the affordable price of communication. regarding mobile communications, we should have solved both problems in this government, that is , we would have developed our fixed network, compensated for its backwardness , and also reduced the price of fiber so that people could use it for both issues. we had a plan. our first plan to compensate for our backwardness in the fixed communication network was the big project of the national fiber plan for homes and businesses. we had 20 million urban bands and we are planning that by the end of 1404, 20 million urban households will be covered by optical fiber. let's put it, that is, how many are under coverage now , now more than 8 million households, that is, about 40 urban households are covered, and we planned to reach 14 million by the end of this year and 20 million by the end of next year. the first is that we bring fiber closer to people's homes. the next step is to stimulate demand, that is, to make people prefer to use fixed connections instead of mobile connections. the pe

they believe more federal government redistribution will help them in their community. so for them the democratic party makes sense. like i said this community is a real outlier partly because it still voting very democratic in an era when a lot of other largely white postindustrial cities have turned to the right and partly because organized labor movement. i think that community tells us something about both the power and precarity of the labor movement in shaping contemporary politics. strong enough to keep that one town in the democratic fold but it's over one decline probably explains a good part of the reason why a lot of industrial heartland has turned to the right. that was clear and the third and final community i stayed in minnesota where both unions and churches are still present butll struggling to provide the role of community leadership i saw in indiana and wisconsin. so folks there really feel like their community is dying and really under threat of extinction. as republicans particularly under president trump articulated this narrative of immigrationar a

we are this community.ou go to my home state of ohio, pennsylvania, it's remarkable how towns create an identity out of the high school home football team, go to pittsburgh and i am a fan and i can tell you when i've been in various parts of the country if i bump into somebody with a steelers hat we have a basis for having conversation and we were going back and forth even though we were complete strangers and so that ability to see each other as follows was lacking and that is what they've got going for them, they have an identity and a history. that's part of making your way through life is having a story to tell, where you came from and where you're going. >> as someone that grew up rooting for the eagles it would be opposition only opposed but i would also posit that in this particular example, the primary incentive would be economics without much thought given to helping them create what that could even look like. it is kind of imposed or even suggested that there would be a part of creating something
