Thanks

And God bless your dad!

I am glad that some are seeing the light.

If it happens, Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt are gonna burrow into the remaining husk of the Repuke party like ticks and wreak havoc.

I think they are both cured.

For sure Steve Schmidt is.

They may still be conservatives though.

...is for the GOP to go the way of the Federalists and Whigs, after which the Blue Dog and Progressive factions of Democrats will form the nuclei of two new parties.

We've always been Dems so his actions haven't changed our opinions of him, but they have bolstered how much we can't stand him, change the channel when he comes on, and hope & pray he looses in Nov!

as much as I detest the knowledge that republicans care only when it affects them, it's a good thing

... and exaggerated, until "it" affects them.

his agenda is to kill off a lot of people in his way and that he thinks are not of value to his society.

It’s just all about him.

Pretty much every poll taken is showing that the 65+ crowd has left Trump in droves.

Trump won this group by 8 points in 2016 and now Biden is polling dead even with them. That's 8% of the most reliable voting bloc. It's the kind of thing that causes retirement states like Florida and Arizona to flip.

I was wondering if older folks would see that Trump is not for them, but actually acts as if they are expendable. Well, the whole GOP seems to be on that boat, as well.

Thanks for the anecdotal evidence. I hope that continues for our sake and for theirs. Well, I am older, too

If they can get there, they will. It’s very important to them. We need to find any of them who need assistance getting there. I did that one year, and it was very rewarding.

I have what I need but I feel like trump doesn't give a shit about anyone, not even his own base.

when the cart was passing through picking up the dead and his family offered him up. Like someone wrote a day or so ago, a lot of MAGATS would gladly sacrifice their older relatives for personal gain.

Note: to whomever it was, thanks for reminding me that the scene was in "The Life of Brian" instead of "Jabawoki" as I thought.

sorry I have pedanticitis.

Situation.

Trump is willingly, “killing them to save his re-election possibilities.”

It is really happening. I never would have believed it until my older neighbor just turned a corner and dumped him. He is so angry at trump, the coronavirus was the last straw.

I live in one of those places with everything from independent cottages to nursing and rehab care all one large campus. The voting here tends to go heavily Republican - as does this county.

Since last summer the chatter has been more and more geared toward an alternative to DJT and in the process have about had it with the Republican Party. This does not in any way mean they are won over to the progressive side, but since there is no other viable alternative a lot of them will either vote Joe Biden, skip that race on the ballot, or write in Mickey Mouse.

They are still talking about how the witnesses were treated in impeachment hearings. Especially the shameful treatment of "That Ukrainian lady" ( Marie Yovanovitch )

personally felt the negative effects of tRumpism.

They were OK with sex abuser, OK with the lying, OK with the racism, OK with the name calling etc. No empathy whatsoever for those tRump has been hurting for the past three years.

He is still an abusing, self serving, bigoted asshole. He's just not going to vote for Trump.

And as long as he reads attitudes like this on the web, then Biden will still not get his vote.

as to keep your dad from voting for Biden?

Your deep concern is duly noted.

doesn't care about folks like your dad (or my parents, and so many other parents and grandparents).

And he and much of his flock indeed do not seem to care much about those dying. I have seen it right on social media. They are saying things like the elderly need to sacrifice, that their lives aren't more important than younger people who need to make a living, that this is no worse than the flu, that they would die anyway...Not a great way to win over the most vulnerable group in this crisis.

Sometimes I’m surprised. I remember an old uncle of mine, sitting on my couch, I thought he was asleep. Bush Jr came on TV. My uncles suddenly roused and yelled “that son of a bitch is bankrupting this country”. Definitely raised my opinion of him.

What a wonderful memory of him, betting he’d be pleased about it.

But I am sure it as helped changed many opinion on Trump...including those who thought it was no big deal. Anyway.. most people understand self preservation. As for me, I KNOW FOR A FACT if I were to get this it will kill me..

I don't intend to have my name on the list of the next 10 thousand who get this disease.

us) have other far more pressing concerns to deal w/, then listening to such nonsense coming out of trump's filthy mouth (as well as his cronies).

Maybe w/ the covers pulled off, these people are seeing the real deal and what truly a scumbag rump is.

people are good with getting rid of us. It’s irritating.

themselves and monies .

The Republican leadership's refusal from the beginning to do what they were supposed to to stop this pandemic are de facto proof that their death are -- at very least -- accepted. And that is seen in many red-state nonactions as well.

I hope there are more like your father.

For older, white Americans all over the country. Yes...they are throwing you to the wolves. Sacrificing you on the alter of the Dow and S&P. Move over Baal. God's "chosen ones" have a some new idols.

IMHO

It's great to hear that these senior citizens are paying attention.
