While at #Nerdacon this weekend, I talked to a libertarian who happens to be gay. He thanked me for not advocating burning or destroying things in protest, and asked me to consider adopting the model of the Tea Party movement in advocating for progressive policies.
I also talked to a writer with whom we shared a lot of concerns, including on the direction of progressive politics in the South. He happened to vote for Jill Stein in his home state of Tennessee.
Both wished me condolences over what happened on Election Day.
I’ll have more to say after I process these two conversations.
