Even as a psychologist, I confess to not realizing that ignorant rednecks comprised such a huge swath of the American public. I’d grown up believing America is a well-educated country (grotesquely untrue), filled with largely honest, well-intentioned people (incalculably false).

Hunter Biden bought a handgun illegally. Republicans want him to go to prison. Kyle Rittenhouse took an assault rifle— illegally, as a minor— crossed state lines, and murdered two people. Republicans want to make him their Party mascot. I think I see a pattern here.
