Is that if you look at the last, there's a New York Times story, if you look at the last three elections in a trend, only the counties with the smallest proportion of college grads have turned more Democrat. It's mostly suburban counties where I grew up, suburban Denver, suburban Atlanta, and

that have moved Democrat each of the last three elections in two thirds of the least educated counties. It's been the Republicans that steadily grew their vote share in each of the last three elections. And so if you're saying that the answer is that like, well, it's just been this widening inequality gap that has turned these folks to Trump.

This is a conundrum. It is an easy thing to say, right, that Democrats should not be condescending when talking about folks that voted for Trump. And I get that it's like the right thing to do in the sense of like, if you're in fourth grade, that's what your teacher would tell you. Like you have to be nice to your fellow classmates that made a really dumb decision.

And we try to teach our kids that. And yet, they've nominated the Republicans, one of the stupidest, most cruel, most totally morally indefensible Americans for president three straight times. Even after he's committed obvious crimes, even after he's insulted people, and he's so mean. It's like he's condescending and mean to people the way he talks about Baltimore or whatever the media.

Wouldn't it have been satisfying, though, for somebody just to punch the fucking bully in the face in fourth grade? Like, isn't that after a while, after many years? That's one thing if they're mean on the playground for like one day. But then it's third grade, they're mean. Fourth grade, they're mean. Fifth grade, they're mean. Sixth grade, they're mean. Seventh grade, they're mean.
