Well, I am 66 myself, so I don't think I can call that middle age anymore! :) My daughter reminds me that I am old every so often. I love her still!
And before I forget, all long-winded responses most welcome.
I agree with any and all concerns about the Republican party, especially its extreme right wing, and its capture by Trump. As to the Democratic party, I don't think I am there yet. There appears to be little reckoning going on, and the party desperately needs one if it wants to present itself as a viable alternative given the global shift to the right that is going on. Is there a course correction going on? I don't know. But until I am more solidly behind saner positions taken by the Democrats, or at least the emergence of more centrist Democrats willing to take on the more extreme factions of the party, I will remain an independent and learn as much as I can to contribute to the conversation.

Best to you as well, Mildred. Take care.
