24. Well put.

JHB, I like hearing your voice. I’m journaling to return to this over the next few days. And I find it extra thought-provoking next to BuffaloJackalope’s comment of republicans as victims of putin’s propaganda.

(Am looking for a way to give everyday conservatives who are cooling to tRump an out for having supported him. This as Thanksgiving approaches, fraught with questions of whether this uncle or cousin will speak to me or even make eye contact. It’s not those two that I care to sway in any way, but is an indicator of how bad things have become in my extended purple family.)
