If your politics require you to pretend biology stops being real the moment it becomes inconvenient, maybe the problem is not Sophie Cunningham. Maybe the problem is your politics.
Oh, Chris - what an excellent piece. For two reasons: 1. I love me some Caitlin Clark (born and raised in Iowa and watched her play in high school and college). And, I have fallen for Sophie for fighting back over Caitlin’s abhorrent treatment on the basketball court. And, 2. Your comparison between Rosa Parks and Sophie could not be better investigated and explained. Your exposing the hypocrisy of groups standing behind principles only as long as it benefits them is duplicity at its highest. I look forward to your book. Write on.
Thank you. And very cool that you were able to watch Caitlin before the rest of the country discovered her. That's always kinda special. Sophie has been a hell of an addition to this story too. I appreciate the support, and the book is coming.
Just the think what the GOP could achieve at the local level if GOP politicians put more emphasis on crime, broken families and failed inner city schools. It's too easy to ignore those things or just pay them lip service.
Community policing. Violent offenders off the streets for good. Resources for those making an effort. Empowering parents and partnering schools with business and vocational programs. Removing the woke virus which doesn't play so well with people trying to just get by. Lots of things the GOP could do to drive that 15% through the roof. And everyone would benefit.
Exactly. And the vocational piece is a big one for me because I went through a vocational program myself. That helped support me until I was in my 30s, and off and on even after that.
Give people real skills, real work, safer neighborhoods, better schools, and some reason to believe they can actually build something.
If Republicans did more of that instead of just talking about it every election cycle, that 15% could go a hell of a lot higher.
