These elections prove there’s more moderate Republicans than we thought

My friend Scott is a man’s man. A Republican, he was born and raised in Wyoming. He is from a blue-collar, working-class family. He’s a “fossil fuel-burning motorhead” (his words). He loves the outdoors, he covets his guns. He never passes up an opportunity to shoot a coyote with his AR-15. He is very much a redneck (my words). Opinion He is also a pallet of reds. Though he’s not politically active, he votes. He’s unafraid to choose the candidate he feels is best suited for the office regardless of party affiliation. He’s smart. A successful trial attorney, he worries about right-wing politicians’ attacks on the judiciary and the Rule of Law. Though he voted for Donald Trump three times, he now thinks the president is the “biggest idiot on the planet” (again, his words). This is what Wyoming moderates look like, and this year the Scotts showed up. And they were pissed.
