Spoke to an old man today who needed help blocking all of the Trump shit he subbed to. Apparently he isn't voting for him anymore. Dunno if he's voting for Harris or just not voting, but it felt good getting rid of all that shit for him

My wife overheard some boomers at a restaurant talking and she was shocked to hear them talking about NOT voting for Trump. He's not doing himself any favors. Previously alienating seniors and vets because of Project NeverHeardOfIt, now this. He's eroding his own base trying to appeal to a larger audience and I'm ok with that.

She said she was getting geared to wellactually-mode and instead got to putter around giddy that there's still hope for some of them!

That's awesome! I'm glad she got to experience that

He's made his bed with the Silicon Valley elite and now he has to do their unpopular things. All that money comes with strings.

It's enjoyable watching it happen to somebody I don't like for once.

I'm glad he has conflicting masters.
