Thanks for drawing my attention to her remark in the Guardian article.
She doesn't seem to appreciate the collective "simple minded" mentality
that she describes, and that the Senator exemplifies, and at the same
time she seems extremely aware of, and shows us in detail in so many

"evil people" can be. Certainly in this story.
