The conservatives have won the social and cultural wars, and we don't even know it.

So it's not funny – it's foundation shaking – when the smaller authority figures we want to trust reveal that they are morons; no better than the big guys we love to hate. In the last year, two things in particular highlighted this.

2. I think it did...

But with a terrible description bridging to it. Thank you for pointing that out. This should make it clearer.

3. This will never go away...

... the 200k people who watch MSNBC are not a significant slice of the American public. The real American public is simply confused. The other day I was listening to a talk radio show and a woman called in who stated that she intends to vote for Trump, but if he does something that alienates her, she's going to vote for Bernie Sanders. Because he has the same point of view and philosophy.

That was one caller on a show. Not a scientific study. But it shows how there doesn't seem to be a connection between what people believe in and the policy they would vote for.

So, really, the folks at the shooting range probably found their mistake appalling. It's just that they can't tell why.

Sorry, I'm over simplifying. I just think that people aren't so bad. They just don't have the opportunity to learn how to think critically.
