Accolades to you, Jim, for taking the initiative to run for office. Since you are not part of the Lemming herd, the deck was stacked against you. Integrity does have a price and you have paid it. Just remember integrity and honesty are rare qualities that not every one posses which makes you an exceptional person. Great T- shirt.

Jim-thank you for your courage! “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” Growing up, I was always taught it’s wrong for the fanatical mob to buy into a hysterical narrative to justify, force, blame, coerce, propagandize, indoctrinate, vilify, and even kill the minority.
The truth always comes out in the end, but after the damage has been done and public interest has disappeared, just like blaming the unvaccinated or Jews for everything. Unfortunately, the charlatans and virtue signalling hypocrites have already ran away with the money.
Excellent insightful comments. It is certainly true that if you voice your actual opinion and deviate even a little from the Overton Window, you cannot run in mainline parties - where risk aversion runs rampant. But still, speaking the truth and broadcasting reality still serves an important purpose for society.
Great post. I would say you're too good for mainstream parties, as their dishonesty is rampant. I long for the days we could laugh out loud without being cancelled!
