Here is my precious 90 year old grandpa Bob, two time Trump voter who flew the flag, wore the hat, and never once voted for a Democrat in his life - voting for Kamala Harris yesterday in Nebraska. Thank you grandpa Bob for your service π«‘
Iβve been all over the country in the last month.
And I get asked the same question, over and over again:
βI disagree with Kamalaβs position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?β
Here is my answer:
I'm a therapist and our end of it is like this.
Me: How are you?
Client: Good!
Me: Wow, tell me about that!
OR
Me: That wasn't very convincing!
OR
Me:
THEN
Client: Okay I'm not actually good
My therapist always starts our session with βHow are you?β and I always say βIβm good!β and then spend the next hour talking about how I am decidedly Not Good.
