This tweet from " David ex Trump voter for Biden Weissman" is really special.

Voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris was the first time I made a decision on who to vote for based off other people’s needs instead of my own. I’m sorry but there’s something special to what I am feeling now after this vote today.

This is a really interesting guy. Seems like he did a complete 180 with his views on life.

1. The feeling David has is the feeling you get when you don't act like a selfish asshole.

Maybe more people will have this experience and help make the world a better place.

5. This is his pinned tweet from Christmas Day 2019

I was a mess back then as an angry Trump supporter. Being a liberal has brought me down to earth in realizing the person I was. Having empathy encouraged me to get PTSD therapy, getting an education, being a better role model for my kids. I came a long way and I’m ready for 2020.

Maybe had an Ebenezer Scrooge moment?

2. That is good.

I have voted for things in the past that would not benefit me but it would benefit others who needed it. Kind of like vote for the many not the one.

3. If you don't know the story

He was an internet troll that supported Trump in 2016 and would troll Clinton supporters on social media. A chance exchange with Sarah Silverman on Twitter opened his eyes to the evils of Trump and all of his supporters like Fox News.

Some people haven't trusted him, but I've seen enough of his tweets to be certain he's sincere. He's actually gone out & gotten an associate's degree and now works (I think) as an EMT since his "meeting" with Silverman.

4. Wow, I Remember That Story, She Actually Engaged Him with Empathy and it WORKED!

Sarah Silverman is brilliant, love her.

10. Aw, that is so cool!

I vaguely remember something about this, but didn't pay much attention. It's so wonderful to hear that the change of heart has stuck and that he feels good about it. That's just great! 💖

6. We're saving this country one soul (voter) at a time

7. This why we invest in schools (via taxes)

Even if we don’t have kids. You’re only as healthy and safe and prosperous as your community.

8. The irony is that he voted for his own needs, anyway.

At any rate, way to go, David.
