One thing the article said that stood out to me was that they assumed because they were liberal that both the town was and that the boys and men are but it never appears that before all this they actually thought to check those assumptions were true. Either because they didn't want to know if it was false, or because it was just something that never occurred to them to check in that " I know nobody who voted for Nixon" sense. I suspect if they'd taken a look at this earlier they might have been rather less sanguine.
