Thank you for reminding me why I love my home state—and also why I love now living in a temperate rain forest climate.

I agree, but I didn't want to nitpick over that. To me, patrician gentility mostly described those included in various state/city "social registers" (my spouse had such ancestors,) and wouldn't include the solidly upper-middle class.

"Solidly upper middle class" is far from patrician gentility, which, in the US generally derives from a combination of old money and notable genealogy—neither of which Lowry possesses.

Patrician gentility? His grandfather Lowry was a chauffeur in NYC. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

So what happened Trump's first term?

A record 13 hurricane landfalls on CONUS during his first term, including three Cat 4s and one Cat 5 (also a record).

Obama had 4 seasons with no landfalls (2009, 2010, 2013, 2015). Will Noem admit Obama was 4 times as powerful as Trump?

So easy to fact check the Mad King. Prices are down...a whopping 5 cents from this time last year.
