@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon You had me at "highly qualified", assuming that entails "agrees with me on core values and policies", and even more so if it includes "Not at an age where dementia is a going concern."

If it's one of those "examplatory gays who are friendly with far right and highly educated", it's not enough for them to be queer to, e.g., get my vote.

My mind is flying all over the place today. :blobfoxlaughsweat: And it's highly in a "weird associations" mode.

It was about Knut Hamsun, who was apparently a really great writer, but is pretty much ignored (or purposefully not remembered) in Norway because he was quite happy to side with Nazis. To a point that he wrote an extremely positive obituary for Adolf in 1945. :blobfoxfacepalm:
But in short, I agree with you. Except that, then it's not clear enough in the question.
