It’s always interesting to see the points where these kinds of studies look for solutions.

It’s unfortunate that Lichtblau appears to be a mostly competent reporter because if he allowed himself and extra degree of editorializing he’d be willing to pour forward the point that we keep seeing this story repeated through the book-a young ostensibly white man grows up in conservative households, often middle or upper class, and then “mystifyingly” becomes a white supremacist! Who could have thought?!
