In reply to the discussion: Why would any woman ever vote for a Republican? [View all]LibDemAlways
(15,139 posts)48. I know a 75 year old woman, a breast and ovarian Stage 4 cancer survivor, whose
German immigrant family was interred in a camp in Texas during WWII. (Yes, those existed.) She was divorced from an asshole who cheated on her, was briefly married to a slug who sat around watching tv all day, and now is retired in Arizona after raising three sons. Cannot fathom why she's a diehard Repuke gun enthusiast who thinks Christine Blasey Ford's testimony was much ado about nothing. It boggles the mind that a woman who's been through so much would worship the ground an ass like Trump walks on. I blame a lot of it on addiction to Faux "News," but at some point you do have to wonder WTF is going on and why is a woman like her so stubbornly backward.
