I'll admit I take not of long-term attitudes and what not, but I also try to keep a "new thread, new threshold" sort of mindset, too.
I respect you both as contributors and pot-stirrers (a good thing in my mind, as long as there is some substance there), so that's just my take. Then again, what the hell do I know, eh?
EDIT - Until further notice, I think there is enough of a strategic political background to his point to keep it from being an insult. It's the difference between saying Trump polls well with those without a college or higher education compared to "Trump supporters are morons."
No doubt his past gas lighting of blatantly racist comments from a White Nationalist as extreme, but not racists certainly influences my opinion.
But, hey, speaking in “generalities,” why is it always a conservative with a MAGA hat and the Stars and Bars who gets caught speaking in generalities some might protest, but when the video goes viral they claim they “blacked out” with the obligatory “that’s not who I am” song and dance?

Quote: Jenkins said she “blacked out” during the event and doesn’t remember what she said as anti-racism protesters gathered outside a store that sells Confederate merchandise.
However, the moment was caught on a widely shared video as Jenkins ― decked out in a “Make America Great Again” cap and draped in a Confederate flag ― told the protesters she would teach her grandchildren to hate them.
“I’m teaching them to ******’ hate all of you people,” she said, then she raised a fist and called out “KKK belief.”
You know, she probably should have prefaced her comments by claiming she was speaking in generalities first.
