      In the immediate family, it wasn’t too terrible. It was a certain uncle, that I never speak to any more thinking I should be signing up. (he’s as deep into MAGA world as anyone, the only reason he wasn’t at Jan 6 was he’s too broke to go.)

      I will say this. It definitely colors my understanding of what’s going on with Palestine. Seems to be that history is rhyming again.
