How do you account for the same phenomenon elsewhere, outside of the US?  Such
as my home city?

We are not talking about an 'ideology', but something that is observably
happening.

Sorry, as I've said, I've been to many cities, and SEEN the replacement.  If
you want, you can go to Paris, to London, to Birmingham, to Melbourne, to
Brussels, to Marseilles, and see this for yourself.

We are not talking about abstract things like unfounded fear, ideology or
ideas, but an observable and real change.

Again, the world doesn't revolve around what Americans think.
