David Brooks, a non-MAGA conservative has an interesting piece at The Atlantic about how he has moved to the fringes of the Democratic Party, as a consequence of the trumpification of the former Party of Lincoln. Although I do not agree with his own every word, he appears both sincere and thoughtful, and his political journey is not enormously different from my own, although not the same. As a classical liberal who cast his first presidential vote to re-elect Ronald Reagan, I have voted for Libertarians in some elections, and for Republicans in others; recently, I have voted for Democrats.

I have made a campaign construction to help get more votes for Chase Oliver, the Libertarian presidential candidate. I am not sure whether I should vote for him, or for Kamala Harris. I am also not sure whether I should make a campaign contribution to help Harris get more votes in purple states. I am also not sure whether Virginia will be close enough that I should hold my nose and vote for Harris, or vote for Oliver.
