Jason, your article brings up many points. My comment about Christian Nationalists is that have you noticed that they rarely if ever quote what Jesus said in any one of the four gospels. These right wingers of Christianity often quote Paul mostly Hebrews or Romans. Other favorites are Books Isaiah, Jeremiah something from Kings and Leviticus. They cherry pick these books because it supports their ant-Jesus version of Christianity.

Thanks for keeping this real for everyone one. Our neighbor has a fuck Biden flag and a let's go bradon flag wavy in his front yard. Junkyard Joe we like to call him. Beautiful home, surrounded by junk.

Ohio is, was a good place to live. Jordan, Vance and our state legislators are worthless. We we're really dealt a bad hand. Our abortion laws are safe for now. We voted to make it so.

We all need to remember it wasn't a landslide win. I'm not shutting down, unfortunately we will remain divided, but true to ourselves.

But the Trumperites are the list souls and probably will never receive redemption. They made their choice.

But wait! The Warriors just beat the Rockets 99-93 without Steph or Dray. JK had 33, while Wiggs had 23. And my favorite young guy, Podz' had 12 rebounds, more than any of the Big guys. Loons had 11. 🏀

TWolves tomorrow night.

These people are too stupid to realize the south lost the war . And they would have been considered nothing but poor White T…h by the rich white landowners in the south. Good enough for cannon fodder. Hitler would have considered them rejects also. Yet they idolize them.

The right wing of America hails from a bottomless well of insecurity.

I live in a red part of a blue state. Know what I do? I do NOT shop local. I do not attend the local festivals. I investigate everyone before I hire them. I can choose where to spend my money. My goal is to make sure not a single cent ends up in a MAGA pocket.

I'm in the high desert of California - it's all red and all Hispanic; go figure!

They want to be accepted. Well, I do the same as you when I look at where to spend my money

I lived in the area (Victorville) 50 years ago. Down town was a tiny little strip between Main Street and D Street. They were breaking ground on the college and there was nothing but dirt between it and the freeway. I kept thinking … why are they building a college way out there? Now, it’s its stores, and homes, and schools, etc., no bare land between. There is a charm to the high desert. It’s a dream scape covered in snow. A bit windy though. What is your favorite part of living there?

I'm on the Apple Valley side. We don’t even have sidewalks! There is lots of open land here! The homes are on an acre lot, but it's building up around here, too. I don't have a favorite part. I'm here to take care of my adult disabled son (not the retirement I wanted.) I want to go home to Portland, Oregon. I miss

my river and mountains, hiking, green green, the symphony, art museums, and 4 seasons, and friends, you get the picture.

I can certainly understand your home sickness. (I live in the Sierra Mountains now. ) Maybe one day you can return home.
