On the "never trumper" title forever, let me tell you my one story. I am a former Republican in a ruby red state who believed in the shining city on the hill. My friend, whom I gave hell about watching Youtube because of all the hyperbole and slanted out of context quotes, left leaning podcasts, got me to listen to TYT. After the algorithm learned a little, I saw Tim, Sara, and you, JVL on a Next Level. I found my people. Conservative background, horrified by what is happening. I found ya'll after Biden withdrew and I felt a twinge of hope with Kamala entering. I mean I was there for 1.0, but being a Gen Xer I was still trying to get less slanted news from AP and Reuters. I also followed BBC, Al Jazeera, and Fox to round out my consumption. I still follow those, but you guys are my people. Sometimes I can't handle Fox, but I do try to read and listen to more than one view. Anyway, I was not with you as the OG never trumpers so maybe that is why I don't label you with only that label. You guys give me a sort of a news analysis home. I appreciate you all greatly and have hope more former Repubs can find a bit of a home with you as I have.
