Eee-yikes. Admiring Roy’s cleverness doesn’t stop me from getting a shiver down my spine, because this feels like it brushes up against reality a little bit too much.

You know, I wouldn’t even care that much about the mindset of “I’m ignorant, bigoted, provincial, and I like it to keep it that way” if they just kept to themselves and didn’t try to bother the rest of us. But they want to live by their rules, AND make the rules for city and suburban people, too. Then they get mad when we push back.

“Narcissistic Yokels” has developed into an actual clinical category.

I shouldn't be laughing, but I am, in spite of myself.

I don't really understand the transgender thing, but I wish anyone who is a happy life. I'll never know what it's like to be black or profoundly disabled or an undocumented immigrant either. That doesn't mean I don't feel for their struggles.
