Nice to meet you, Alexandra, you “sweet summer child”. But seriously, I used to think the base was penetrable to facts from reliable sources, but no longer. Comparing media sources is definitely not their thing. But it’s a lovely thought.

I try not to be unrealistic. But people did turn away from Trump after Jan. 6. Cassidy Hutchinson explained that she felt really torn about Trumpworld. She knew what was happening ran counter to all her deeply held beliefs, but she was a part of something she had come to feel was central to her life. People actually do leave cults despite being subjected to threats and all manner of emotional distress--but it can be done. Ok--these are outliers, but every vote counts when margins are thin.
Isn’t Hutchison amazing? Listening to interviews with her caused me to think of my own past, and I recognized times when I failed to follow my own moral compass in favor of belonging to a group.
I like your optimism. I wonder if leaving the cult of Trump will become a stampede, once it gets started. I wouldn’t rule it out.
I have the utmost admiration for C. Hutchinson. To hold to your deeply held convictions when everyone is against you and you are being threatened with violence is magnificent.
What I’d give to have had her qualities in my mid twenties. Or even now, at age 71! I hope she has a future in public service. Those like her don’t come around very often.
