7. I think my daughter voted for him.

Aug 2025

What can I do?
She's got three babies that we help out with.
Her husband is a tech bro and they both voted on election day.

I heard her complaining about Trump the other day, so maybe she regrets her decision.

I didn't ask who she voted for, but she made a disparaging comment about Kamala. I don't think she intended to vote, but I think her husband dragged her to the polls because of the tech thing.

Hubby voted for Trump in 2016. (Abortion issue) We almost got divorced over it. A few months later, he totally, totally, regretted his vote. He hasn't voted for a Republican since.
