My annual reminder that Columbus was considered savage and cruel enough to be fired and sent home in chains by the people who did the Spanish Inquisition.

The reasonable conclusion to draw from the poll (and all the other polls, and everything else we know) is that rural Americans are -- not all, but mostly -- ignorant & bigoted.
But America's own noble-savage mythology does not permit anyone, on either side, to say that out loud.

Remembering this story from 8 years ago, about the differing values of rural & urban people. One reason I remember it is that every single factual assertion made by a rural person in the piece is false.
New poll of rural Americans shows deep cultural divide with urban residents

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

I will just reiterate -- even though doing so has long since become pointless -- that keeping these current lunatics out of office was an entirely sufficient argument for voting Dem up and down the ballot. People who didn't do so should feel bad about themselves.
