2. I was surprised by the LDS vote

Nov 2020

Much had been made of LDS church members being disgusted by Donnie’s non-stop lying and amorality. I had expected a fraction of them to vote for Joe or, if the blind-mice pollsters’ sampling had proven right, to at least vote down-ballot and leave Donnie to his fate. But it looks like they went ahead and voted for Orange Julius anyway.

I guess morals and integrity only count—if you’re not a Republican. In which case anything goes.
