Millions in the US still don't feel seen by either political party. My dad is one of them | Jessa Crispin

Like many people, my father feels politically homeless - unable to stomach toxic Trumpism, but too conservative for the Democratic party

A few days after the insurrection at the Capitol, my father Jack started sending emails from his Lincoln, Kansas, home to his representative and senators in Congress. For some reason, he was also cc-ing me on these exchanges.

There was a new email almost every day, and the tone swung between pleading, angry, bewildered and frustrated. There were emails asking his senators to vote to impeach Trump, emails demanding proof supporting the allegations that the election had been stolen, emails trying to untangle their twisted logic.
