i think your typical democratic voter will respond much better to "they hate this motherfucker in the white house as much as i do" than endless flagellation over biden, especially since the latter looks weak and reinforces all the worst stereotypes about democrats!

I don't think they'll ever about the were wrong about him. If they ever stop supporting Trump, they'll say *he* changed or some similar nonsense.

I love crocuses! I've planted several varieties, including the earliest blooming variety I could find.

They bloom when winter is gray and feels like it'll never end. It's always a delight to see them.

Their cheer was particularly comforting this year.

Honestly, how do you report on these shenanigans without ruining your blood pressure or becoming an alcoholic?

Thank you for your service

But reading your book was a gift.

I had no idea the school (and church) had a more liberal phase. No idea how just a few members at key moments turned the school and the church so far right.

There was so much richness there, and I got to celebrate that through your book.

Thank you for that.

Same. But I was so grateful to know the full history. I attended in 01-05, and it was pretty lonely as a liberal student back then. A kid in one of my English classes was outspoken against invading Iraq and I wished I had his courage. (I never knew if he left or was expelled the next semester.)

I also had a great experience at BYU, with an amazing adviser and wonderful friends. Working at the Faculty Editing Service was my dream job.

Reading your book on what BYU was like in the 1920s broke my heart at what it could have been

I'm deeply uncomfortable with what it's becoming under Gilbert
