Terry, I didn't know who guys like Tom Nichols, Rick Wilson, or Charlie Sykes were until I got on Twitter. And from there, I was introduced to Tim Miller, Sarah Longwell, and JVL. We all have options when it comes to what we read, watch, or listen to. There is a lot that Sarah says, for example, that I disagree with when it comes to the nature of the electorate -- she thinks voters can be persuaded with the right message whereas I think the median voter is a moron -- but she's making a good faith argument with the best of intentions. If one of these guys with work vans that you describe has a media diet of Sean Hannity and Joe Rogan, that is willful sequestration from the rest of the world and a conscious choice to not challenge their own thinking.
