I might buy this if I wasn’t from red rural America & still connected to those towns, but I’m watching Trump voters support Trump rescinding grants to build a needed daycare for their kids (he must have found fraud!) and to update their failing water treatment plant (democrats fault somehow?).

I looked for you! And we even were on the same side of the crowd even, but it was so big I missed you.

Yes, but he still wanted the money, so he was nice about it.

Thank you for this perspective. I’ve been on the fence about applying for a project (or rather re-starting an interrupted application) and need discernment as I assess the potential costs & risks of this grant for the artists involved. It’s heartbreaking. Communities deserve better.

An engineer once explained to me that an efficient system always has need available when a resource becomes free, and an effective system always has a resource available when a need arises. Mind was blown.

Oh good grief. He even got wrong what real people in red states care about. Food & housing security, rural clinics, biofuels, farm loans, business development, community centers, medical airlift, search & rescue, etc. Our legislators are so out of touch.

Thank you for sharing your story. I relate to so much of this and haven’t taken the time to put words to it. I’d love to put it behind me, honestly, but I know I learned lessons from fighting that fight and those lessons are needed now.

I have a story like yours and husband raised conservative Baptist. We got out together and have wondered the same thing. I think being creative, logical question askers drew us to each other & freedom. We also took certain teachings seriously (❤️ your neighbor)
and couldn’t stomach the hypocrisy.
