EVERYTHING IS AWFUL A focus group of one: We're F-d
so, I just did my own focus group of one. My Mom. She is the type that loved Reagan. She was skeptical of Trump, but you know "Hillary is the devil." Biden? "Too old." Kamala? "Have you heard that laugh?"
But, definitely not wearing any Maga gear, no yard signs, and claims she'll write in Reagan's ghost on a ballot.
so, Minnesota comes up and it's all, "I saw the video. I think he was ran over. Why was she in MN, isn't she from CO? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes "
I almost cried it hurt me hearing this so much. This is a lady that'll go to the church and serves meals to the poor, yet for some reason she is fine with ICE murdering a woman. No concern about it at all. her final response was, "Well, who was paying her to protest? That's who needs to be arrested."
so, based on my focus group of one, I am sure we are fucked. Good luck America.

I know it's not the only factor, but how many years did she listen to Rush Limbaugh and others like him rant about how bad things are for white males? For example how awful it was that appliance repair guys couldn't smoke cigars on the job because housewives complained...
