No, quite all right. I, too, spent many hours/days, trying to help a conservative state delegate. The ignorance — appalling.
It’s all so sad. The whole slide into anti-Constitutionalism, anti-Federalism, all of it. The ginned-up racial hatred, after all the years of effort by Abolitionists and Civil Rights activists. The reversion to serfdom. Just a mess.
If I did not have my faith, I would be very depressed about the whole mess.
