And don’t tell me his vote will change anyone’s mind. The GOP left him long ago. And anyone who is voting for Biden from that side made that decision long ago. Fuck him!

Here's what I mean--he voted for Trump in 2016. He is not voting for Trump in 2020.

Won't change anyone, but may be a sign of more people that are changing; he might be the tip of the iceberg--the little piece that sticks above the water that lets you know there's a giant hunk attached to it under the water.

First vote for a Democrat, that he must have voted Trump in 2016.

He still deserves bad things, but perhaps not as bad.

And the point remains, with just a small change:

He did not vote (D) in 2016, but is voting (D) now and is hopefully still an indicator of more like him.

But honestly, I never thought I'd see the day they admitted they'd built a Frankenstein monster so evil they'd defect from their party.

We're definitely living in interesting times. In a very bad sort of way.

9. Turns out George was a tool for Republicans for close to 50 years.

He had the conservative gravitas schtick down all this time. Now that the fruits of his convictions are blossoming today, he want's to kill the creation with vast amounts of Round-up.
