Egberto, you write "inordinate grace and compassion". That is how I too see you and your remarkable ability and willingness to engage with people I myself view as moral monstrosities.
Thank you for your persistent reminders that my view is generally unproductive, and your grace-and-compassion approach is what's really needed. Your interactions with self-described MAGA types prove it again and again.
It's one of the main reasons I support your efforts with a monthly paid subscription despite living on a modest fixed income.
It is an absolute honor to have my quote about subscribing included. Hopefully the day is coming when, despite living in the rural deep south, I can use my real name without concern.
For now I'm just glad I can pay back to you a bit in two ways: subscription and honest, well-deserved praise.
I have heard you share your time on air, listening to some very challenging people. Your ability to listen and reframe is demonstrated in many interactions.. your behavior speaks volumes. You are indeed doing The Work we must all do to develop trust in each other. To dismantle the hate and build up love.🙏🏽

p.s. As a career-long marketing writer, I do strive to frame issues from my perceived-opponent's point of view. This piece offers an example, sort of: https://medium.com/@idember/want-universal-healthcare-ask-a-conservative-56712a028e74
Your kind support is appreciated, my brother. I could not do this without supporters like you!
Sir,

Thanks for your kind words, my friend.
