For me, reading your account of what interests you, and what does not, just makes me more interested in following along. Wicca was my first foray into organized religion, and the occasion of my introduction to Tarot! Fast-forward I am now Catholic, maybe a bad one, but tenacious, and still have a heart for those Tarot cards. And yes to your weariness with outraged “I win, you lose” point making. I feel as if the world is exhausted by this, never healed. That said, interviewing a MAGA person? Sigh. But, maybe? Anyway, I’m sorry you are leaking support. I feel your jam! Thank you for putting it out into our world.
Yes, I have pondered interviewing a MAGA supporter ... I know some who are quite kind, compassionate, loving people. The liberal / progressive media wants us to think "they" are all bad, stupid, and misguided ... but perhaps hearing someone's story without being defensive would help bring understanding as opposed to more division. After all, MAGA supporters feel the same way about progressives that progressives feel about them - "they" are all bad, stupid, misguided, etc. There must be a better way forward because the current way isn't working.
Anyways - thanks for sharing some of your story and thanks for being here, I am grateful for you.
Could it be that you're being directed into another direction Glenn. Change is scary. I'd definitely stop listening to everyone who is "scared" of your diversity of subjects. Take a breather and see what this is "saying" to you for your good 😊

Thanks my friend!

Thank you! Yes, I've stopped listening to the voices ... I'm just following my heart these days.
