Wow it's going to be so awkward when she finally endorses President Klan Robe.

But yeah there's no runway left for her because she isn't a true believer. She tried to ride their racist nationalism tiger and she just didn't have the heart for it. The "bitter end" is a good phrase because it will be bitter, just like the rest of MAGA.

I like that you refer to Greenville as "beloved" even though you don't reside there anymore (as I understand it). I get disheartened when I see people online trashing towns and states because their governments are terrible. It's true that those governments are voted in by the populations but never is it by 100 percent. I often think of this quote from Medgar Evers. Staying in MS probably cost him his life but his conviction about his home state resonates with me because this is what we have to do to change things for the better in the so called "red" states. I realize that my little comment doesn't really have much to do with your piece but it's what I thought of first.

“Why do I live in Mississippi? The state is beautiful, it is home, I love it here. A man’s state is like his house. If it has defects, he tries to remedy them. That’s what my job is here. Why do I live in Mississippi? I live here to better it for my wife and kids, and for all the wives and all the kids who expect and deserve something better than what they are getting from life.”
