I WAS OUT on the roads today, looking at a series of signs for political candidates, almost all of them Republican. Pretty disgusting. And they put the word “Republican” right on the signs, almost as if they weren’t ashamed of it. So I began thinking of the culture in which they were raised, because it is also the culture in which I was raised. Even in my family there is Republicanism.
It is deeply buried, and I had largely blocked it out, but I remembered that there was a time when Republicanism held no stigma for me. So I thought about escaping from that horrid state, and how there must be millions facing that situation. And I thought it might be nice to send them some advice, to help them along the path to being better human beings.
