Three cheers for Hoosiers for Democracy! Please know that your work has inspired me from Day One onward, and please keep getting into good trouble! Voices like yours that come from a state which has long been dominated by right-wing politics are an important reminder of the diversity found across American political life—and your voice in particular has always been clear, grounded, compelling and hopeful. Thank you, and keep on keepin' on!
Parker, you are the best! I met you in the early 90's at Waycross Conference Center and have been a HUGE fan since then. Your books are life changing. I never in a million years imagined spending my 70's writing a blog about politics...spirituality maybe, not politics. That said, I am more and more convinced of the intersection of spirituality and politics..'the body politic' is a body--a corpus--for good or for evil. Your words mean a lot because there are times when it seems like writing a Substack is futile in the bigger scheme of things. Onward my dear, sweet friend.
Brave post. I had not heard the idea of neo Confederacy but it fits what I have understood as the red state split. It gives some new language to explain the larger systems at play.
