I have seen and read way too much republicans are gonna slaughter us today.
My Republican brother, not a loony just a good church respecting Christian, texted me last night, “help me make a choice. I Do not support abortion, but I believe it’s the womens choice not government.” (He doesn’t know he is Dem) he gave me a list of candidates in his district in NC. One candidate he said he could vote for, She is a strong democrat, with faith, and stands for everything we care for. All the ones he was looking towards were the same.
He voted for trump in 2016, now hates him. Got sold on all the Hillary trashing. He is a Navy Vet like me, on SS and Medicare.
SOME republicans are not hate filled gun humping cultist.
I said look, (like Joe does) you do not have to go full Dem forever, but you guys need to clean out the trash, make a statement that you are done with hate, lies and corruption. Push for sensible humane candidates in the future. Do what the Jesus YOU follow would do, not the the Jesus that hates and kills and lies and worships the cash.
I hope there are millions of repubs like him, but a know way too many that are just like what they look to be right now.
I am very worried what’s coming.
