Batya Ungar-Sargon should get out more and meet more Republicans.

Batya Ungar-Sargon Seems to claim that many Trump voters (and Fox Viewers) are uneducated and support a racist when compared to Biden voters. 

It seems Batya Ungar-Sargon has a somewhat parochial view when it comes to understanding some Republicans. I am in the western suburbs of Chicago and have traveled the world extensively and had a wide range of experiences in science related businesses. By far, the majority of my friends and contacts are highly educated, especially in STEM fields, and experienced in business. And by far, these friends and contacts voted for Trump, both times. I don’t believe they or I am racist.  I also know that, for the most part, we don’t think Trump was much of a person, lacking gravitas, being intellectually lazy, insecure and not well spoken. 

However, once again by far, there is a strong preference for Republican policies over Democrat policies.

And to make sure that you understand why this is you need to understand what is important to us.

First is that markets, open competitive transparent markets, are significantly better at allocating resources than the government is.  This would also include schools and school vouchers.

Second is that we believe that as a country we should provide a safety net for the unlucky recognizing that there are others who will take advantage of it. Essentially this means that our entitlement systems should require and encourage work. 

We feel that CRT is a false narrative that falsely claims that the primary cause of disparities between whites and blacks is systemic racism and fails to take in account the importance of agency and environment.  We feel that CRT is doing significant damage to blacks and our country. 

Perhaps Batya Ungar-Sargon should get out more and meet more Republicans.
