Your analysis of the way right wingers think is thoroughly on target. I should know. I grew up surrounded by it. They're poorly informed and dont care. They prefer their opinions over the facts. It's a very self-serving way to think and live but it makes them feel more secure.

They’re pretty frustrating. Where did you grow up?

Columbus Georgia, where 'the past is never dead; it's not even past.'

I spent a lot of my childhood in Laurens, SC. Not so far away!

I think Ma Rainey was from Columbus.

Yes, Ma Rainey, Carson Mccullers, Robert Cray, Wayne Brady, and coca cola are all from Columbus. I went to school at brookstone with Frank Thomas the baseball player and the comedian Tim Wilson. Both really great ppl. Oh... and there's Tim Hudson, the mlb pitcher who retired a while back. He went to columbus high school but i was gone by then. Do you have family in Laurens?

No family in Laurens that I'm in contact with. I haven't been there for many decades.
