Just wanted to share this little victory: Family came to visit and we started discussing politics. I tip toed around it because I know they’re anti-trumpers. They let us know they voted for Trump. We were shocked. Essentially what it came down to was taxes - capital gains, income, and retirement. I think identity politics played a part also because one cousin said:

“I still hate Trump; but none of the people the democrats want me to care about have ever cared about me”

I responded with “HONEY! GET THE HATS! MAGA HATS FOR EVERYONE!”

My sister was an Obama fan and was ‘with -> [H]er’ and is married to an ultra-lib democrat

She even bought into the virus porn and masks.

Secretly disclosed to me she’s voting Trump

It’s Biden advocating never ending lockdown that turned her

Only the biggest losers imaginable would want another lockdown. Leftist or not, everyone knows another lockdown will mean more layoffs and uncertain financial situations. The first time was hard enough. Biden advocating for more lockdowns is a big time losing issue.

Biden advocating for more lockdowns is a big time losing issue.

I have never seen a more out of touch campaign.

Saw a Biden ad last night claiming Biden will 'increase the number of testing centers' and manufacture more paper face-masks to keep us safe if he was elected.

Who are they expecting to win over with this shit?

Thing is, I see masks being sold everywhere now. It's not like at the beginning of covid that you couldn't find one. Just about every store has tons of them.

I’m starting to think my mom is going to vote for Trump even though she parrots all the dumb left taking points she hears on Colbert and NPR. She won’t tell us a soul though, not even me. Smart decision really because I don’t think I could hold my excitement in and my dad would never understand.

Almost a dead give away shes voting for Trump.

Think about it this way:

Outside of looking like a complete moron, there is no potential downside to putting a Biden sign in your yard, or otherwise publicly advertising to people you are voting for him.

Advertising a vote for the GEOTUS tho? That can get you fired, socially ostracized, attacked, or your property damaged/stolen. Even suggesting a vote for a 3rd party will get you an inbox full of TDS rants and possibly even banned from social media (anyone else remember the 'Walk Away' movement??).

In other words, people have zero reason to disclose a vote for Biden, and many reasons to hide their votes against him.

Not where I live. No Biden stuff anywhere that I have seen. Trump signs and US Flags in many yards.

That’s great news, fren!

It’s hard to be blackpilled with experiences like yours happening everyday.

Thank you for sharing!

Liberals become conservatives as soon as they discover how much all those very important social programs are going to cost them peraonally.

Stories like this add to my conviction that Trump's margins will be well beyond the margin of cheat. Thanks pede.

I wish we had a big stickied thread rn where we can all post them, for posterity (and morale boosting).

Have a family member who's very Pro union and has voted D since she registered to vote 20 years ago. They are brainwashed into thinking Republicans will kill unions. She won't tell her husband she voted for Trump but told me she did lol.

Unions are still around after 4 years. Why does anyone think that would change? All of this drastic stuff the Ds say Trump will do would have already happened.

I work in a liberal city, and in a rather lefty/progressive industry. We have a couple people in the office who are extremely outspoken with their TDS, but I have been amazed at how silent everyone else has become when they rant about the GEOTUS.

Even a year ago, a TDS Trump rant would solicit a bunch of head nods and slay-queens from most of my coworkers. Now, the same behavior results in silence or awkward, forced chuckling.

People are tired of this shit.

That's awesome news! 4 more years of success and hopefully they'll never vote Democrat again.

Just remember a lot of us here are former libs. I was prior to 2016. Obama's failure and turning off MSM because it's fake was my red pill moment. Trump's campaign helped me understand it even more clearly.

Whatever. The financial scare for those who have assets that Biden and Warren would steal is very real. The difference between living a reasonable retirement you saved for and living on a small govt stipend.

My boyfriend, who claimed to be a life long republican when we met last March, voted for neither candidate. His reason was...integrity and principles. He also claims he doesn’t hate trump and likes some of his policies. I’ve yet to ask which of Biden’s policies he likes for fear we might argue, but I have lost some respect for him.

I said all it means to me is that he thinks both candidates are equally bad, which is whishy washy. He doesn’t have cable and only listens to NPR on the way to work. Then he told me he actually changed party affiliation to independent in 2003. He is not invited to my victory celebration. His parents are tho.

That guy isn't a good pick for marriage and a family.
