Big belly laugh when I saw your Pepperidge Farm meme! :D
It sounds as if you and I have had a somewhat similar journey in some ways... I was born into a Republican household, and vividly recall the horror when JFK (Democrat! Catholic!) was elected.
Then I surprised myself, voting for (Christian) Jimmy Carter, and later (Actor) Ronald Regan... Ron Paul was (and still largely is, despite what I've subsequently learned) a hero in my eyes. I supported him both times he ran, sometimes quite vocally and in much writing... Of course, I now no longer vote for "rulers" of any stripe. For a spell, I declined to vote at all, and now (despite the protestations of purists) only vote against increases in state power... e.g., taxes, bond measures (more taxes), and other "legislation" coming down the pike... and very cautiously for measures intended to repeal "laws" that give those freaks the power they thrive on.
When it comes to indoor sports, as one who believes that Jesus is God, I'm so looking forward to a permanent future in which the blessing of the mutual attraction between the sexes will no longer need to be peddled like a meat market commodity, but will rather be the universally available blessing it was always intended to be.
And what more might I say about state power grabs? Here's a relevant comment, point being "state v Jesus...":
😄😇😉
