    " The epicentre of our fractured American electorate resides in the places that educated Americans are least likely to visit."

    Abandoned, shunned , and marginalized for many years. This was a very thoughtful article. I've read several like this of the past few years, and I am glad to see this growing self examination.

      Even though it reads like a scientist taking their mosquito net and magnifying glass out into their neighborhood, its heart is in the right place. Nerds can be human, too.

    Just a bunch of hicks.

      I think your comment was probably mangled in the editor. All that's showing here is a sentence fragment without so much as a verb phrase. The 'LOL' came through okay, but deprived of any kind of meaning to attach to it, seems a little hollow.

        Nope, it wasn't "mangled in the editor".

        LOL

          What then does the phrase "Just a bunch of hicks" have to do with Dawn Potter's piece here?

            The obvious is so opaque, for some.

            For you alone, here it is: The working class rural=hicks, by your ilk.

            LOL

              I can see why you wouldn't've bothered to read the article before commenting. It is, like, nine whole paragraphs long.

              You can't rile me,

              it's "your demeanor" that's on display.

              LOL

              Gotta say, though, Chucklehead, I'm not really seeing what was so laugh-out-loud funny about your comment that you cracked yourself up. I mean, seeing as how you had no idea what you were talking about, hadn't read the article or had any idea what it might've said, and had no meaning in mind for your comment beyond a resentful grunt.
