I blown away tonight!

I called my uncle to wish him a happy birthday(we share the same b-day, born 10 years and 10 mins apart)! We have a good bond with each other, but not with politics! He is a stanch republican to the hilt and Trump is all he talks about! Well, we talk for a bit and he had to go, I said I will try stop by and see him soon! He said not until the virus is gone! He was very serious that he was worried about getting the virus or giving it to me! Then this is what blew me away! He said “he thinks Trump is dead wrong about the virus and that way to many people are being affected by the virus”! I wanted ask him “who is he voting for than”? But I knew the answer so I was not going to push the wrong buttons!

It still blows my mind that people can think that the person they support is dead wrong about a deadly virus that has claimed the lives of over 200,000 and counting, and still likely vote for that person so they can continue doing the same thing for another 4 years.
