    <p>Speaking of regionalism...</p>
    <p>I just listened to Ben Sasse of Nebraska (R) give his fellow
      Senators and those of us watching the Supreme Court Confirmation
      hearings a lecture on Civics.  Sasse is very articulate and
      earnest and gave a good case for treating this (and all Judicial
      appointments) independent of partisan politics and religious
      bias.   <br>
    </p>
    <p>Unfortunately he managed to do this without even a single *nod*
      to the possibility that the very nomination and rushed
      confirmation was partisan and that the selection of this
      particular nominee is acutely based in religious bias (supporting
      the partisan bias).</p>
    <p>I don't know Sasse's record well, but Mary (hardcore Lefty) is a
      native Nebrasker and her head *can* be turned by his familiarity,
      style and delivery, right up until he drops an implied (but not
      obvious to me) conclusion that she disagrees with.  Fortunately
      her oldest son (who writes/edits Bills for the Texas Legislature,
      but also born, raised, educated in Nebrasky) is a very well read
      (esp. in political science) and very perceptive progressive
      Liberal (liberal Progressive) who talks her down from Sasse's
      charming deliveries, (or up and out) from the flaws (gaps?) in his
      rhetoric.   <br>
    </p>
    <p>For all of my resentment and distrust of politicians (esp. those
      trained as lawyers) I do wish I could have a one-on-one
      conversation with the likes of Sasse or Flake or McCain (RIP).  
      Maybe their apparent reasonableness and rationality and even
      fairness is an extremely good act, or maybe they honestly believe
      everything I hear them say, even though I cannot draw some of the
      same conclusions (or do not start from the same unspoken axioms?).</p>
    <p>Mary and each of her children left the enfolding comfort of the
      western Nebraska plains and the plainspoken, folksy people whose
      entire livelihood is armatured around a wide variety of acutely
      exploitative (formerly extractive, and previously just plain hard
      working people teasing needed resources from the earth for their
      American cousins everywhere).    They left because of the
      parochial, narrow minded, self-serving views of the people they
      lived with and grew up with.   And they left behind a
      yet-more-impoverished (socially and spiritually if not
      economically)  region in the process.   They sorted themselves
      into various meccas of liberal thinking and being.   Mary left
      behind  several brothers who she had to unfriend from FaceBook,
      and then leave FaceBook entirely (good move in any case) to escape
      the echo-chamber of their Trump-trumpeting.   <br>
    </p>
    <p>On the flip side, they had the benefit of a very progressive
      educational system and a thin smattering of worldly and
      progressive thinkers in their communities...   4 year state
      teachers colleges cum general colleges that were not only
      affordable and convenient to get started with a good liberal arts
      educations, but staffed with very well educated, very progressive
      (if not always Progressive) thinkers who inspired them to think
      outside of the boxes they were (somewhat) raised in.   These
      professors/instructors were part of an extended upper-midwest
      educational milieu that, from my (distant) perspective seems to be
      top notch.   The nieces in Mary's cohort, at least seem to have
      come out of the same culture with a strong progressive (and
      Progressive) mindset.   The nephews are mostly focused on guns,
      guts, and glory with god's blessing.<br>
    </p>
    <p>I stumbled my way out of very similar boxes, but without (for the
      most part) the kind of progressive higher education system I sense
      that Mary had benefit of.   The Political Compass test places me
      pretty solidly into the Liberal/Liberatarian quadrant and I
      self-identify that way when I can...  while still holding a strong
      allergy to the most extreme (unto smarmy?) Liberal styling of
      arguments for their positions.   I tend to agree with many of
      those positions at a fundamental level, but am put off by some of
      the gymnastics used to justify them.   <br>
    </p>
    <p>Unfortunately I *ache* for a more reasoned discourse, and am
      therefore acutely susceptible to the kind of rhetoric that the
      likes of Sasse and Flake and others can muster...  I find myself
      *wanting* them to be reasonable so badly that I overlook the
      *gaps* in their rhetoric where they let me (and others) fill in my
      own blanks with my most hopeful and generous thoughts.   It seems
      to be some variation on the dog-whistle?   I think Trump's
      ambiguous (self-contradictory, rambly, ???) style feeds this
      well... leaving lots of people room to pretend he either doesn't
      really literally mean what he says, or leaving them to pick the
      parts of various contradictions that are convenient for their own
      argument, or just ignoring all the innuendos they might not like
      otherwise.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>I am feeling fascinated to live in these "interesting times" in
      spite (because?) of the stakes at hand.  Mary is now into the
      second volume of Klemperer's "I Will Bear Witness", a diary of a
      Jewish scholar married to an Aryan who survived the Nazi years,
      and more importantly managed to keep his diaries secreted away... 
      a day by day, moving testimony to just how wicked the bulk of the
      population of Germany could become under the acutely evil
      ministrations of Hitler, his malevolent cronies, and the
      propaganda machine they built and operated.   <br>
    </p>
    <p>The propaganda machine of the Self-Righteous Right seems as
      intentionally designed, but not nearly as "smooth", but maybe it
      is just Limbaugh and Jones, and Tucker and Sean that I am hearing
      in their hysterical rants.   Dave (and others) may accuse the
      Loonie Left's propaganda machine of being equally malevolent (to
      the Right's, not the Nazis') but perhaps slicker than the
      Right?   </p>
