She kept trying to ask us who we voted for, after she complained about how all these crazy people on both sides were making it not safe for people trying to just do their normal business. Facebook was where she got her news, and when she heard about all the problems going on around voting she was hearing about, she was afraid to be out there on her own or with her daughter, who is quite small.
No issues except for a line due to social distancing, of course. She could have easily gotten there on her own.
She didn't notice our Biden-Harris bumper sticker until we got ready to leave, and suddenly looked rather upset. I suspect we inadvertently helped out an elderly GOP mark.

Facebook is one heck of a trip.
