I’m an older white man liberal living in Michigan. My parents were from Tennessee. Both Democrats. I spent a lot of time there in my youth. Can’t understand how they have come to vote against their own self interests. I’ve come to know both you and Jess Piper through Substack. I live off SS and a small pension but I try to support both Blue Missouri and you as best I can.
Walter, your stories about growing up in a conservative rural space are heartbreaking, as someone who has always lived in liberal-ish suburban places. I would like to do something to help rural liberals, but I don'tknow how. I'm in Virginia where we have statewide elections this year. I will try to find something useful to do.
Thanks Cindy, this is an ongoing process. I don't know what the answer is, but I feel like I'm making progress. I'll just keep working on it! Thanks for your kind words!
