Instructive Quote

Instructive Quote: "I have no idea what goes on in another person's mind. As a legislator, I need to be good at persuading people, counting votes and getting to 50 percent plus one. I don't go back and say, 'Why did this person get to the right position?' It's only, 'Are you yes or are you no?'"*

Folks, we need to remember this! We need to accept converts, people who will not admit they were wrong about TACO, people, family members, friends and coworkers who were rude, in our faces etc about MAGA. This is a battle for our country, for our democracy for our kids and grand kids future. Yeah I know it is hard but suck it up buttercups! You do not have to forget or forgive. But we all need to welcome all who want to join the resistance.
