A friend of mine just lost her mother. This was in her obituary and it made me smile.

As a diehard Democrat, Barb was active in politics her whole life. One of her last joys in life was celebrating the election of Joe Biden as President.

there was one in the Star Tribune today for a man who died November 5 "sadly, not knowing the outcome of the Presidential election about which he had been worried since 2016".

Later in it, while menitoning the many things he had done the family noted "For nearly five years, winter and summer, he helped patrol a Connecticut women's clinic escorting and protecting patients from the screaming and ranting of protesters.".

No doubt he was a Biden guy.

She was so political happened to her last days. It would have broken her heart to see what has happened in the last 4 years and what a mess we have today.

And since it sounds like she voted for Biden, she helped!
