Every single time, it's a collection of people so bigoted that everyone in their life no longer wanted to be associated with them. Their partners left them, their friends stopped talking to them, their bigoted harassment gets them booted from social media. These are not good people.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Agree. But the question from the literature is whether the true self is seen as inherently moral. Like your question we think the answer is “not necessarily.”

We don’t really explore that question, but rather find that morality is not the only value area that is viewed as contributing to closeness to the true self. I suspect there could be cases along those lines, but then the question of what sort of moral view you have in mind looms large.
