I agree with your final screamed sentence. I do not agree with your penultimate screamed sentence. We don’t have to welcome them. Acknowledgement is enough. Wait — is “glad you’re here” and then nothing else actually welcoming someone? If so, then maybe that sentence is okay. Now I’m not sure.

"Glad you're here" is probably the best thing we could say because yes, we should be glad. Every vote cast matters. Be glad they're casting them for her.

Breaking out of a cult is hard work. The fact that there are people who are trying is something to encourage. We don't have to pretend they've never done anything wrong, but we do have to give them what credit is due them for waking up.

I'd be tempted to call that Minnesota welcoming. We don't make it easy for newcomers, that's for sure.

You’re absolutely right and I have clarified. ❤️🫡
