What an insightful blog post. I feel this is especially well said, “…weaponized ad hominem attacks on a person’s immutable identity markers….a way to avoid making an argument, while simultaneously claiming an unearned moral highground in a discussion.” You have obviously delved deep.

I see you as a leader in a new awakening of sorts — a reawakening to our native internal humanity. And since the left — for lack of a better word — has completely closed down to conservatives, the conservatives are powerless to inspire dialog, much less change in them. That leaves it up to those like you, bringing on a reawakening of humanity & simple compassion — remembering we are truly one family — humanity.

Wishing you well on your wonderful, challenging trek. Wishing us all well, as we begin to come back together & talk with sufficient openness, with integrity & honor.
