I'm sorry I have never heard of you before Substack but, your writing makes me feel like we should've met as kids. Hell, we could be family! Lol I feel everything you say, I've lived. And this article is no different. My dad was born and raised in a coal mining town in West by God, Virginia. So, I also have those cousins. Thank goodness the family moved when he was young. My grandpa just had to get outta there. So please, keep writing. And maybe those of us with those cousins, can figure out how to tell them if they keep voting for Republicans, they'll never get out of that breezy house.

This was the BEST description of the type of individuals we hear talking from the halls of congress. “January 6th violence?” “I couldn’t tell you, I didn’t see it.” What???? The senator was THERE! It’s a reality not steeped in reality, or rather, it’s a made-up reality to suit shifting boundaries. Your description of your cousins was so awful it made me laugh out loud, except for me they existed (for a time) as Texas and Florida neighbors.
