'My 81 year old lifelong republican mom called me tonight, will be voting for @JoeBiden'

* My 81 year old lifelong republican mom called me tonight to say that after watching today’s #TrumpPressConference every republican should decide #Trump must go. She added, “If I’m still alive in November, I’m voting for @JoeBiden”

* Sad that it took the deaths of 24,000 Americans to bring her around




Not to mention that a high percentage of them are people in her age group in nursing homes. But if that's what it takes for people to wake the fuck up and vote for the best candidates on the ballot, so be it.

kids in cages are OK , but it took tens of thousands of DEATHS for you to "see the light"???? Forgive me if I find NOTHING to celebrate.

As soon as things return to some tolerable level of "normal," ninety-nine percent of such people will run straight back to the GOP upon the first talk of a "tax break" (nevermind who gets it!) or promise to punch down on "those" people.
