By jove, some repugs are starting to get it. [View all]

By best friend for the past 30 years is, sadly, a repug. She is the most giving person I know and is so smart but she was raised by a Repug Mayor daddy, in a small GA town, and is 76. Sadly, previous to now, she was still in for drumpf, hadn't been able to overcome her conditioning. Yesterday we had lunch after agreeing not to hug or touch each other and of course we talked about this Covid-19. She, like me, was furious about the govt's (drumpfs') lying response and deliberately stopping us from getting tested when needed out of pure politics and no caring for the people. I was shocked in a very happy way, I knew she'd eventually start to get it, she's already turned on Scott (Voldemort). The worm is turning when this lifelong repug, 76 year old southern white woman, sours on drumpf - woohoo!!
