I feel comfortable here. Everyone makes sense, uses for the most part reliable sources, seems above average (!), and so I lose touch with why the GOP massacre on health care, etc. plays.

But then I go to the sports “bubble” where my son practices soccer in winter—the TV is always on Fox and the waiting parents are watching and nodding. These are middle and upper-middle class white folks. (One guy was seated with his back to the TV watching something else on his tablet. I chanced to see his screen and…he was watching Fox News, too. Just wanted his own private intense experience, I guess.) It can’t be overstated how right-wing radio and TV have divided the country.
