I’ve often wondered how many traditionally Republican people couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Trump versus how many people gravitated towards voting Republican for the first time because of his proclamations. Ultimately, did Trump bring more voters or lose more voters for the party he represented?
I’m used to politicians being corrupt, hypocritical, dishonest, out of touch, naive etc. but I hoped they’d never become stupid/insane and yet...
Maybe in the future your parents will get a presidential candidate they actually want to vote for but It’s nice to know that in an age of vitriol and misinformation there are adults looking at the bigger picture and making a pragmatic choice. Good on them.
