    Several people from town and church have told Stephanie they are “not gonna vote the same way next election”. “People who’ve been conservative their whole lives are even showing up at liberal protests against ICE raids,” she said.

    I hope we get a next election that’s free and fair. I hope they don’t vote that way in the next election, or any elections after that. But I’m not holding my breath on either account

      Don’t worry. The Democrats will put up some old milquetoast centrist with 0 charisma and expect us to vote for them simply because it’s, “Not JD Vance!”

      I know people like this. I grew up with people like this.

      They will express genuine, deeply-rooted outrage at an issue, and then file it away in the memory hole under “All politicians are bad anyway” when they go to vote Republican in the next election.
