OIKOPHOBIA ON THE RISE AFTER TRUMP WIN: New Yorker: Chick-Fil-A Is ‘Creepy,’ ‘Pervasive’ for Being Christian.

Iowahawk advises that Manhattan’s only hope is to “build a wall to keep out those icky foreigners.”

(Classical reference in headline.)

UPDATE: Rod Dreher rhetorically asks, “Would the New Yorker have published a piece critical of a fast-food chain owned by pious Muslims, characterizing their appearance in New York City as an ‘infiltration,’ and saying that because of its ownership, the restaurants do ‘not quite belong here’? Of course it wouldn’t. So why do they single out Evangelicals for this spiteful treatment? I think we know the answer, but I wish editors at the magazine would ask themselves this question.”

They’re too busy still trying to figure out what happened in November of 2016. But the New Yorker’s self-parody today is also a reminder of how accurate Ted Cruz’s “New York values” quip during the campaign was.
