    Sorry I was living in a state where the DNC was experimenting with what the grand plan would be for 2024 and the result was Trump-lite in a stupid little fleece vest became governor and in the years since Virginia has become a much less safe place to be a person of color, queer, or a woman.

        Also re-reading my apology for getting lost in the sauce of my own bias of how I viewed 2022 I realize i might come across as being snarky when legitimately I forgot how that year went for everyone else because I was so frustrated watching both sides in VA say one of the candidates was exactly like Trump. I wasn’t being sarcastic in my prior comment. Legitimately. I goofed up and I’m sorry

          No worries, friend. I always try to believe the best in people until they prove otherwise, so I never took your comment badly. And I’ve certainly been on the other end of losing my cool before, too. Your frustration is very understandable and I can relate.

          Besides, I lived in VA for about 5 years myself. We’re practically former neighbors.
