Good article!
One of my hobbyhorses is that you can gain a good deal of insight into someone's political worldview by observing whom they blame versus absolve for bad acts, since blame implies agency and absolution tends to minimize it. Often you find this pattern to be the reverse of stated sympathies. Examples left as an exercise to the reader.
