My parents just moved to Florida, for some crazy reason. My parents are used to being around conservatives, but I get the impression that Florida is something different. Everyone is on the MAGA page there, and they assume everyone is like them. It's a bit of a culture shock for my parents.
It is very dislocating. There are so many kind, hard-working people, and then this detached, smug contempt that just permeates, like a mist. It wasn't always like that.
Sean, this is beautiful. What a lovely answer to give to your mom, about love and helplessness, about love not being transactional. I'm sorry you have to go through this, but glad that, since you have to go through this, you're awake for it.

Thank you, David.
