As frustrating as this is to you, it's an amazing education for one like me, raised as I was in a secular, blue corner of the country by people who aren't Americans by birth. Agnostic Canadians here for work, in fact, who stayed.
Thank you, for providing the insights you have into large parts of America that have baffled me and my relatives still up north (which would be, oh, all of them outside of parents and siblings), who pepper us with questions as to the "WHY?" of the U.S. political beast as though somehow proximity would mean we had an explanation.
I still feel like there's some huge Thing I'm just not getting, but you've made pieces of the picture come into focus for me.
