we are fortunate to have The Bulwark. You are making an incalculable contribution. Thank you for persisting.

Having gone to law school living today makes me feel disillusioned because I devoted my life to the law and now the law doesn’t matter or it only applies to some

JVL…you do help sick people. When my hubs and I listen to you, we feel better. Keep it up friend✊🏻🇺🇸💙

This is such a thought provoking conversation. I so appreciate the work of The Bulwark and never miss a show. I think what you’re doing is meaningful. Makes me sad that JVL thinks he might have gone the wrong way. I think he’s where he needs to be. Hope I’m not being selfish.

We're all in this together!

JVL writing in present tense, is so incredibly brilliant, and to witness the worst of humanity, you bear witness to the future. And your work is bleak, but I appreciate it. I am a priest. I have seen the Christian faith transform from my ancestors leaving Virginia in 1838, and the Wesleyan faith over slavery, and Iowa was a Free State. I have gone through no women in the pulpits, to the Silent Majority, to W's Compassionate Conservative, to Christian Nationalists. Some days are harder than others, but I sit with trans kids, that have no legal Civil Rights in Iowa, and convince them they are worthy of love. You and Sarah are a blessing.

I was a moderate Republican for almost 52 years, I finally gave up when Trump got reelected, but most of the people I was behind, seems like they've gone to the dark side. Liz Chaney and Adam kinsinger and John Kasich are no longer in politics. I cannot believe Marco Rubio and Lyndsey Graham have been big disappointments . I cannot believe Republicans have gone back to Trump after he orchestrated Jan 6, 2021. And would have never believed that Republicans and those who supported Ronald Reagan would back this authoritarian administration that's leaning into facism,. Gues😮I will be voting for Democrats for the rest of my life, because, now, how can we support a Republican who backed the Trump administration?

keep kicking the darkness until it bleeds sunlight

Watching from Australia. Thanks for your decency, honesty and intelligence.

It’s been crystal clear to me since I was a teenager that the regressive/repressive party has 2 goals: the protection and elevation of white, straight, “Christian”, conservative, able-bodied men and the oppression, control, and exploitation of everyone else. I will never not be utterly mystified that anyone who isn’t part of the former demographic or loves someone who isn’t could possibly devote their professional lives to championing said party
