The most depressing story for a Christian is the Pizza shop incident (Please, media-that means you WaPo- stop using the kooks designation "pizzagate"). Mr.Welch, and his circle in North Carolina seem so aimless, un-tethered, and despite their chronological age, innocently unsophisticated. The textile mills and furniture manufacturing and other industries dotting the Tar Heel state have been replaced with office desk type work, and tech and financial companies near that state's cities. Rural whites are clearly adrift and prey for every conspiracy charlatan empowered by the net.  Both of our major political parties have failed them. One exploits and inflames their fears and situation shamelessly for electoral gain; the other too often sneers at them and blames and shames in the name of identity politics. We can do better.
