In reply to the discussion: Great news! My Republican neighbors are voting for Biden!!! [View all]dawg day
(7,947 posts)6. That's great! And I bet your kindness to them helped them realize--
Good people vote against Trump.
An old couple-friend of mine have turned against Trump. We haven't talked politics for a long time-- it was too painful to see their faces change and become angry and bitter when they used to repeat his lies and insults-- but last week, she called out of the blue to talk about books we were reading, and suddenly said, "Have you read Mary Trump's book?"
"Yeah... what did you think?"
She said, "I think he's a terrible man, and I'm sorry I voted for him. Dave and I won't do that again!"
It's not like these 2 votes will make the difference, but I think they might be representative of other former Trump voters.
