We're wrapping up this election cycle in Georgia with voters who voted for Herschel Walker in November — but aren't so sure about him going into the December 6 runoff. Atlanta Journal-Constitution political reporter Greg Bluestein joins Sarah for one last focus group in 2022.

Wonderful episode.
Btw, we are rationalizing animals. Not rational animals.
That explains why we will ignore the abortion stance (or what have you) of someone we like but bring up someone else's stance as the reason for not liking them.
The brain is a tool to help us get what we want.
It is deeply frustrating to hear people say crime in Atlanta is the most important thing influencing their vote for a senator. Civics lessons, people.
