isn't this the same woman with the tiktok who did the video "my brother got hit in the face because of something he said about how great trump is" or words to that effect, and then says, "and I'll fucking do it again godammit!" or words to that effect?

I feel like I know her. Maybe I worked with her or took care of her as a patient. I know I didn't but she seems so familiar.

She is the heart of this country. She is eloquent in the way that it matters, she understands what is important without denying who she is.

Thanks for posting this, I live in the very red East TN, she could be from here and she gives me hope.

She probably has to live with them, too. She must be going through life feeling like the only sober person in a room full of drunks.

I know how that goes. I''m always the only sober person in a roomrul of drunks.

She grew up and lived all of her life in rural Mississippi. She was a strong Baptist but a bleeding heart liberal at the same time. My grandfather came home one day from elementary school and mentioned that he had a “n-word” in his class. She spanked his butt and told him to NEVER use that word again. She worked for Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Carter (volunteered in their campaigns). She told me when I was a boy that the Republicans only gave a damn about rich white men and no one else. I miss her.
