"If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person"---Dave Barry.
That quote came to mind as I listened to news reports of white senior retirees finally turning against Trump.
They were OK with his white supremacy and his misogyny and his religious bigotry because, for the most part, these attitudes did not impact them.
They willingly overlooked his history of adultery, sexual assault and lying because their investments were doing well.
They mostly ignored his homophobia because they were mostly straight.
In short, this cohort "had theirs"--- or so they thought.
But now, with a deadly virus rampaging through the land that is especially deadly in their age group, they have turned to THEIR government headed by the man THEY voted for only to find that he literally does not care if they live or die AND his gross incompetence has decimated some of their investments and injected financial insecurity into their carefully planned retirements.
And, they're surprised.
Dave coulda told 'em: if he was rude to people of color, women, muslims and the LGBTQ folks, he was not a nice person.
Vote for nice. Vote for Joe.
