I did think about it. You put out that invitation to conservatives and I thought about it for days. Trouble is, I am a rural progressive. Without a rural conservative voice in the mix, the picture would still be incomplete.

I’ve looked, but I cannot find a rural conservative voice anywhere. In the rural arena, that JD Vance guy who wrote Hillbilly Elegy is akin to Herschel Walker. Vance is a rural poverty pimp, who sold out our sorrows, instead of championing our genius.

After I finished writing my comment to you and Plurabus, the voice in my head laughed and said, hey Raffey, so much for staying out of this – right? Apparently, I can’t stand this any longer, so yes, I will engage. What’s the next step?

PS. I also think I may have lost my mind.
