In reply to the discussion: I had tough talk with my mother today. [View all]LWolf
(46,179 posts)67. My mother is about the same age.
Happily, she doesn't have any religious leaders who try to bully her politically.
We discuss politics. She makes up her own mind. She would never, ever, ever vote for Donald Trump. We both voted last weekend. The only vote she struggled with was our state measure to tax big corporations. The big out-of-state corporations brought in big money and big guns to shoot it down; one of their claims is that it would make senior citizens on a fixed income pay more for everything. That's a big concern for her. I tried to talk her down. I don't know what her final vote was.
