As some grow older they become more insular and paranoid; others, more introspective, wise and influential. Thanks for being in the latter group, Rob.
As for me, I'd like it if so many of us weren't being exploited to negatively emphasize our differences instead of positively celebrating our many commonalities.
Thanks for pointing out sources of information that you appreciate, and I agree with those whole-heartedly. In my view, it is no longer a question of conservative vs. liberal, it is now a question of right vs. wrong. I am from Illinois, but I have grown in the last year to appreciate MANY who write in the Iowa Writers Collaborative. Worth a look! I have also found myself exploring more writing on Substack, where many good writers who left big publications such as the Washington Post or the New York Times have landed. The Contrarian is one example. There is a definitely a LOT to sort through - thank you and other clear-eyed writers for helping to make it a bit easier.
