of whom I'm sure I would like and respect in real life —but then I thought, I want people to know about this! Also I hit a snapping point. I suppose it's hypocritical of me to wish you well. But thank you for reaching out. I hope my better angels take over again soon!

on social media with zero chance he would ever read it or listen, that he should not spend his time and political capital on protecting farmers from the predictable consequence of their majority's choice.
