I've been reading a book about this very thing, the “pride paradox” in politics. Particularly in rural areas. Stolen Pride by Arlie Hochschild. I can't hardly get through a chapter without having to stop and meditate on the feelings it has surfaced in me.
Wonderful to have your thoughtful, insightful voice out in the world again, Miz Honey May. I recommend this substack to all. Write on, please. _/\_
