I meant your managing to muster up some sympathy for conservatives “trapped behind enemy lines”, so to speak. Usually on FR we are considered expendable if considered at all.

Where I grew up, things were a lot like rural North Dakota. Things changed there considerably--to the point where going back would have me either become a scofflaw because of the rules now, or continually feeling like I lived under a Soviet regime.

While I have my livelihood here because of the nature of my work, and am well settled, I understand those who rail against the changes made by a changing political landscape are not always effective in stopping those changes. My hat is off to those who remain, who yet stand and fight. May your efforts be blessed.

My son & family are also ‘trapped behind enemy lines’ in Mass. He’s been there since college, staying when we moved away (military move) & it’s where he started his current job. With the current unemployment situation, he can’t just up and go somewhere else. He has a good job, but there isn’t any money in reserve to allow for even a couple of months of no job. I am very worried for my oldest grandchild, who just started school last week. He has serious allergies and responsive asthma, and with this news of TB and respiratory illnesses cropping up, I am worried even more.
