-**23.05.31** - I added this page as a copy of my Reminders. I detailed my workflow in https://davidawindham.com/slow-thinking/. ~~The easiest way to export the reminders to Markdown is to print to PDF and then migrate, so the first todo item should be to find a better way to sync them here~~. ( **23/12/08** ) Made and Apple Shortcut to export them to markdown and consolidated the **ToDo(ne)** list here.

 Donald Trump[^1] is only the second to do so after Grover Cleveland[^2]. As is normally the case, I didn't read the news or stay up to watch the results come in.

 There are a lot of things I just don't like. I'm oh so tired of the hatred rhetoric, but I've got just enough confidence in our system to avoid a full on mess. I don't like the republican party's embrace of anti-this.that.or.another blaming everyone and thing from immigrants to atheist. I don't really think finger pointing is helpful in finding meaningful solutions and I am genuinely concerned for minorities populations be it political party, race, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation. I could go on here, but I think the apparent political divisiveness speaks loud enough for itself.
 There are a lot of things I just don't like. I'm oh so tired of the hatred rhetoric, but I've got just enough confidence in our system to avoid a full on mess. I don't like the republican party's embrace of anti-this.that.or.another blaming everyone and thing from immigrants to atheist. I don't really think finger pointing is helpful in finding meaningful solutions and I am genuinely concerned for minorities populations be it political party, race, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.

+Today I learned that Nick Galifianakis lost the 1972 Senate race to Jesse Helms.
+
+<!--truncate-->
+
+A friend posted a link to this 👇🏼 video in a text thread last night.
+
+<iframe class="youtube" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T2r_ZG6CeU8?si=4KMvKR9CEgiXC7Ep" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

+
+I go down early and I went back in this morning to reference the film referrenced in the clip. _The Campaign_[^1] was about a North Carolina congressional race. While looking up the reference I noticed that Zack's uncle was Nick Galifianakis[^2], who lost the Senate race to Jesse Helms[^3] in 1972. 
+
+Galifianakis was favored in that race, but Helms outspent him suggesting Nick was a communist, wasn't Christian, liked killing babies, and his Greek heritage made him un-American.  Galifianakis served in the marines, earned a law degree, and was a professor at Duke. Meanwhile Helms, son of "Big Jesse" the local fire/police chief, started working at age 9, was voted most obnoxious as his senior superlative, very briefly attended Wingate college before going to work as a high school sports reporter where he created flyers for a colleague "Wake Up, White People" which led him to an admin assist gig DC where he worked for Richard Russel who coauthored the southern manifesto[^4] with Strom Thurmond in response to Brown vs BOE.
+
+Helms returned to Raleigh and went to work for AJ Fletcher, the son of a preacher who helped start the Southern Baptist Convention and the Capital Broadcast Company which one of the first in the nation to produce daily opinion pieces. Helms' gig was writing inflammatory editorials such as one referring to UNC as "The University of Negros and Communist". Helms was largely responsible for bringing Reagan to Washington, blamed the liberal media for distorting Watergate, created a bill to allow religious schools to discriminate, helped found the Moral Majority[^5], filibustered the effort to establish MLK day, tried to gut the disability act, and tried to ban AIDS funding.
+
+Helms last notable activities were a Senate ethics violation of releasing confidential documents accusing opposing party members of corruption, voting against RBG, and bragging about trying to make the first black woman in the senate[^6] cry by whistling Dixie. During his last re-election campaign in 1996, his campaign said that public schools were turning kids gay and mailed hundreds of thousands of official looking notices to black people telling them they were not eligible to vote. He beat Harvey Gannt[^7] 52/48% outspending him 30 to 1. Gannt would have been first black Senator since reconstruction.
+
+So I learned that Zach had a personal connection to politics and I think Nick Galifianakis might have been much better for our country.
+
+
+### Aside
+
+Right after I finished writing this, I went out to walk Iris and ran into my neighbor's kid in town from Seattle who said he "is friends with the guy who wrote _The Campaign_ and performed at his wedding". Turns out he went to school right down the road, married Brooke Sheilds, and created the Funny or Die website[^8].
