My LONG time very very Democrat minded friend just told me he is voting for Trump. Biden has lost it and Kamala is the worse choice ever. Plus BLM is just out of hand.
This was my litmus test. If this person changed then I knew the left completely lost a TON of their base.
Further I would say, if after 4 years of talking to this person they changed their mind. It means no one is impenetrable. It means no matter how much we can feel discouraged that leftists can never change their mind ... they can. I did. My friend did. And tons of other stories we hear show this.
I'm endeared to hear this, and I'm happy for ya and your friendship.
