64. For sure. All of us are progressive, but the difference between

broad-minded, accepting people who truly want to further wellbeing for everyone and those whose biggest passions are wired to making trouble and defeating Democrats is enormous. DFA cared less than nothing about the wishes or wellbeing of Virginia's Hispanics, even as it used them as an excuse for their despicable rule-or-ruin maneuvers. Thank goodness they failed.

Wish I could remember in what book I read John Adam's aggravation about his day's version of this type. Oh, well. When our founders didn't allow them to "take back" the revolution , thank goodness they didn't have a chance to turn the nation over to England in spite.

Just occurred to me to wonder if Benedict Arnold could have conceivably been radical by personality, but apparently he wasn't. He actually ran afoul of a major troublemaker of a radical, famous in that era, Joseph Reed, who himself had seriously planned to defect to the British and may possibly have entered into a treasonous conspiracy to take down Congress. Shades of those at very least playing footsie with the GOP and Kremlin these days. But it was his uberpassionate persecution of Arnold, and to a lesser degree attacking others who were part of the power group his radical antagonisms had gotten himself excluded from, that were a large cause of Arnold's alienation.

Thank goodness, indeed.
