 Since the upgrade from v3->v3.1, I discovered this regression in the
 psycopg2 cursor.  jsonb results from sql queries are not loaded into
 python data structures.  This causes issues when dumping and loading
 again, the json fields do not get loaded on the front.  The offending line
 of code can be found here
 
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/db/backends/postgresql/base.py#L206
 in the postgresql backend.

 This code was introduced to work around issues with specifying a
 JSONDecoder in the new JSONField.  Attempting to implement a workaround by
 creating additional connections sort of works, but causes freezing during
 cleanup of test cases, and maybe more serious issues elsewhere.

 This is also causing issues with a ValuesQuerySet, the output from jsonb
 fields is always string.

 This is an intended change, see #31991.

 > This causes issues when dumping and loading again, the json fields do
 not get loaded on the front.

 I cannot reproduce any issue with `dumpdata`/`loaddata`.

 > This is also causing issues with a ValuesQuerySet, the output from jsonb
 fields is always string.

 Using `QuerySet.values()` works for me.


 Duplicate of #31991. I'm happy to reopen if you can provide a sample
 project that reproduce described issues with builtin mechanisms.
