People like Ephron live in a political Never-neverland, where something that once may have been a half-truth regarding their political opponents becomes fetishized into an eternal verity. I read people of her ilk not for analysis, at which they have little to no skill (as pointed out, not a single data point mars the otherwise analysis-free essay by Ephron), but simply to know what the loonies think. Even that, however, is wearing on the soul. If Ephron WANTS white men to start hating others in the way she postulates they already do, she is insane. The level of actual, as opposed to postulated, devastation that would wreak on this country is enormous, although, if the final result were that the future political landscape would be free of Ephrons, I’m not sure the price paid would be too high, just as the price paid for eliminating those who supported slavery from the landscape was high, but worth it in the long run.
