Greetings, Kate. Good to hear from you and to have you on the thread. So if you have been out of Arkansas for 10 months, where have you been? Doing anything interesting?

As for your neighbors, I'm beginning to develop a different thesis about Trump and some of his supporters that's not about fed up with politics but about a much more robust state--check most of his views on immigration, taxation, and so on, all of which require much more state involvement than is presently the case. And thus much more political action. Since those positions are not only not well developed but largely ignorant of how to accomplish them, I'm beginning to work on a thesis that some of Trump's appeal is to folk who want a strong man, one who ignores the usual checks and balances of the political system, to simply enact stronger measures.

Very, very dangerous stuff.
