After a rough battle with cancer and bone-marrow transplant the last 18+ months she finally succumbed to the disease. Only reason I post here is because it really has put the election and the nasty/divisive nature of our discourse in a new light for me. Whoever wins, America will be fine because our institutions while under attack from both sides in different ways are very strong and unique across most of the world.
My mom, who largely voted for Democrats most of her life…was really not a political person at all but she filled out her mail-in ballot in her hospital room and had me mail it in for her. She voted Trump because she thought the other side didn’t offer a good opportunity for her grandkids’ future and they were her entire life and the whole reason she decided to spend her last 18 months fighting through procedure after procedure.
Sorry for another “Dear Facebook” post but for better or worse, I actually do value this board and its members despite disagreeing with most of you on a lot of things and just wanted to get this off my chest. Thanks for allowing me and please don’t be shitty to my mom, she was truly a wonderful person and very kind and not a political person at all but I thought her choice was interesting and not at all something that I’ve ever tried to talk her into or convince her of.
