As usual with these panels, the overwhelming characteristic is nonexistent or false information. Every call to understand and empathize with Trump voters (which is fine in the abstract!) needs to grapple with this.

Always rate Michael Cembalest - thoughtful, data driven, always interesting. it is sad that he needs to redact his thoughts about the US in the current environment.
Redacted
