Country music never did it for me. But in terms of compassion and commitment, of wearing fame with grace you couldn't help but admire and respect her. And she championed the exact opposite of what MAGA stands for.

I don't think the Natalie Harp story is "sexy," even though I used that word in a previous post. Broader context: sexy meaning seductive, clickbait, like the way a traffic accident is sexy.

He's talented at being a malevolent, opportunistic parasite. Other than that, he's not gifted. He grooved off the undercurrent of anger and fear in our society.

Conservatism isn't a bad thing. It's cautious, preserving the parts of gov't that work well and protecting individual liberties. We need its influence. Nothing about the current Republican party is conservative. It's fascism disguised as patriotism. Share that with MAGA.21 Aug 2026 17:26 +0000at://did:plc:ncm7jwqvimk6ccw2miwsfeow/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtmbsnspfc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/larryhochman.bsky.social/post/3mtmppunbcc27Definitely true, and definitely outrageous. But you won't shame them into doing something different, nor will you convince anyone who supports the behavior. Do what YOU can to empower others.
