Big fan of Strong Towns and the work you all do, and like most fans I am left leaning and live in a blue community. The policies you advocate for used to be non-partisan, but have since become adopted by liberal politicians and opposed by national conservatives like Trump and Tucker Carlson. You have described yourself as a conservative in the pre-Trump past, do you still identify with that ideology and if so how do you square your identity as a conservative with the current more populist and anti-urban turn the conservative movement has taken?
