She claims President Biden has ruined the economy. She works at a supermarket and says prices go up constantly.

She also said she doesn't want to live under socialism or communism.

She said she's tired of illegal immigrants being let into the country and given food, housing and benefits.

She claims Biden got this country into "all these wars." I asked her where these so-called wars were taking place.

I also told her I hated that TSF was so cozy with Putin.

I said I didn't want a president who was a rapist or child molester, and she started telling me there are photos of Biden "groping little girls". I replied that I'd never heard of such a thing about him.

Finally we gave up and decided to not argue about it. I'm terrible at debating issues and always end up losing my temper.

The saddest thing is that she used to be a Democrat when she lived in Hudson County. Changed parties when she moved down to Ocean County.
