A Rare Profile in Courage
My interview with Pamela Hemphill “The MAGA Granny” had two elements I think are noteworthy: the first is the social power of conformity in the MAGA world over its members. The second is the disinformation bubble that sustains them: Pamela was told over and over Joe Biden would usher in communism and a host of other horrors.
But the final, and most hopeful element is that sometimes, the spell is broken. Pamela was there on January 6th, 2021, broke the law, was arrested, convicted, and served her time. As a sign of moral character, she’s rejected Trump’s pardon. She’s taken responsibility, and that’s a sign of real courage and character.

As you say “courage is contagious” and Pamela, you have plenty.
Love your articles and podcasts. How about organizing some Democrats in Congress to do more than bad mouth DJT?
