I live in Fla,as a Dem. But I have a weapon, LilBit

Yes, MrsK passed 4 months ago. LilBit and I in true MAGA land, but,,,,, a big but.

I take LilBit out, we drive, we stop, we talk.we call it , Sploring.
(Exploring). Today was interesting, we stopped at an Amvets club. I wheeled LilBit in, sat her at the bar. And I sat and listened, of course all were talking about how TFG got screwed.
They asked me, “what side are you on?”
I said, “I’m on her side” and touched LilBit.
Long story, short. These “MAGAs”, started asking questions about LilBit, bought her snacks, even hugged her. LilBit had a ball! She was in full princess mode.
So after a while I asked them, why Trump? You guys have a heart and love, obviously. You treat LilBit great. The “deer in headlight look”
I said, “ doesn’t it feel good when you think with your heart?”

The club turned off Fox on tv, put on some horse races, LilBit loves horses. And brought me a membership card, for that post of AmVets,and the Commander,who was there, asked, “What do you need?” “What can we do for her?”
I said, “you have done it, you turned off Fox, you love a challenged person that you just met. And then,
I said,
Im old, I’m a veteran, I , somewhere in my life , met a lil girl, who changed my life. Now you met the same lil girl. And you all are falling over yourselves at how great she is. All the MAGAs heard this. They got up, hugged LilBit and paid for “my next”. I don’t know how many drink credits I have.
I do know, if we, do what we believe in. Not loudly, not caps online,,, if we just do US
We can! As Obama said,, yes we can!

But we need to stop screaming, That’s their game.

We need to believe. We need to show them and teach them, what love is.In a quiet way,, the loud, scream, instant reaction, is their game..

Our game helps the world. We do our game soft,slow,steady. We have won for 200+ years.

And LilBit had pets, all her life.

Unfortunately, when Mrs passed, LilBit became aggressive towards her pets. So, I had to find them good homes.
Thanks Tetra.

I love your stories. If only I had a pinkie of patience and heart that you have, I'd be much happier. Hugs to LilBit.

Actually what choice do WE have? LilBit and I ?I keep looking for solace for me here. She brings me to who I am.
I am starting to understand her reality, I lost a wife. Happens all the time with divorce etc etc etc
Mentally yep I lost my wife,, I’m starting to see, She lost her mother. I am wrong when I made it all about me.
