Good one. Berkowitz generally has a cool head.

I thought so too. And I've certainly met people were so crippled by
hatred of this or that politician that they simply could not speak
straight, let alone understand how that politician managed to keep on
winning elections. I suppose one can invert the old saying to yield
something like: If they are so stupid, how come they are rich?

The populations of the big coastal cities are often surprised by the
outcomes of US national elections, forgetting that the majority of
voters live in flyover states. I live in Massachussetts, where the
coastal city effect is particularly strong, especially in areas where
academic institutions cluster. Like the People's Republic of Cambridge.
