## Resource

Hawk reads and responds to Jonathan V. Last's June 25th Bulwark newsletter, The Triad, titled "What Cletus Thinks About Democracy," subtitled "They Are Who We Thought They Were and We Let Them Off the Hook." The newsletter is built around a recent ethnographic study from the Johns Hopkins Agora Institute titled "Faith, Freedom, Family, Place," which embedded researchers in deeply conservative counties in Wyoming, Michigan, and South Carolina to understand how Trump voters relate to democracy.
