Same here. Now I can refer folks to this essay. I think the (deliberate) misunderstanding is due to the unwillingness (inability) to understand "two things at once" - that these can be parallel, even overlap, as they seem to see the world only in binary opposition.
Thank you. I get so tired of trying to explain this. My fifth grade students understand, why not conservative adults?
Yes! Our allegiances can lead to a commitment to misunderstanding the basics. Hope you make this recipe!
Homemade hummus. My favorite. Never used ice cubes. Assembled ingredients for later.

What a perfect GEM of a post! Eloquent, well-constructed, creative, and clear. This one is a prize-winner!
Thanks, Cari!
You missed the chance to say that, though ice may smooth out hummus, ICE is not good for democracy!!
Ha! Either way, crushing ICE is key.
What a great way to make the complexity of our Democracy clean & clear! THanks!
much appreciated, y'all!
What do you think of enhancing hummus with more diversity, like avocados and white beans instead of garbanzos.
