    I worked home improvement retail for a little while. The area I was in was very conservative, very whitebread, very Trumpy.

    The number of people that would readily admit to being scammed in some way was distressing. One couple had around $300k swindled from them in an investment scheme because “The guy seemed so trustworthy…” You know, because he said “Gawd Blayuss!” after every other sentence.

    No matter the education, no matter the money, conservatism is a sign of a malfunctioning brain.
