      Maybe comfortable is the better word.

      That is, anger, outrage, paranoia, and ignorance are their comfort zone. It’s what they know. And in my little corner of the world, the more vociferously conservative they are, the less self-aware they are about it.

      It’s really pervasive in ways I never truly realized until way too far into adulthood when I was working to get that shit out of my own head.
