            Wonderful! They’ll take frustration from someone like you seriously while what they need from me is someone kind, calculated, and adamant. They need to see me as a neighbor and a peer and when I get them to see that I gain a foothold you can’t in the same way that you gain ground by expressing that even people they’d otherwise find respectable is mad about their behavior

              We’ve all got roles to play in the fight against fascism. I’m at WAY less risk so I’m happy to put myself in it
