Political engagement to the point you have these names handy, know who they are, and heard what they said is the outlier - not the norm - in America.

Sometimes it feels like we're sending out a tornado warning on a ham radio. Sure, you might get some people, but most aren't going to hear it. Then the town gets wrecked, and it's "Why didn't anyone say anything?"

Gotta reach people where they live. And endless thanks to the canvassers out there who spent the time and knocked on the doors to try to make that happen.
