I have a genuine and serious preference for talking with someone rather than reading an endless stream of the articles they like. say it in your own words.
I'm still smiling at the thought of you as an algorithm (I know you said you weren't one) but soberingly it strikes me that in a way that is what I am trying to avoid. Being buried in a mound of articles from your point of view. The way you present is as a soldier in the army of Trump who is undertaking the holy work of defending him. any means will do and I know you have a habit of attacking the person when you can't attack the point they have made.
I have a bridge friend who has the same opinions as you and Bawer, he is well liked but not many people will talk to him about his opinions. I do. He is an old man, kind hearted and gritty.
Like I said after reading Bawer's article, there were things I agreed with and things I didn't. I don't like left wing or right wing politics.
I remember 13 saying the same thing to you and you didn't grok it then and I don't suppose you will now but it is not a character flaw, I assure you.
I do have more to say but will post this for now and back shortly.
