My dad has lived in WV his whole life. He’s sadly been a lifelong GOP supporter but hasn’t fully drank the MAGA kool-aid thankfully. I say all this because he hated Robert C Byrd with a passion but I’ll be damned if Byrd or someone from his office didn’t respond to my dad when he wrote letters or called his office.
Now GOP voters can’t even reach the numbskulls that they voted for.
(Byrd was a Democrat, for those who needed the context like I did)
^^ Thank you - that is important context actually.
You can’t be a GOP and not be drinking the koolaid in 2025.
My dad doesn’t like Trump, gets vaccinated, and his best friend is the nephew of labor organizer Walter Reuther (that friend is a staunch democrat). But, he dislikes all democrats more than he dislikes Trump because he believes that all democrats want to raise his taxes. Classify that however you want.
Did he cast a vote for Trump?
He did. And in the last three presidential elections, I voted for Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and I dislike all three of them and I dislike the democrats.
People contain multitudes and don’t always fit neatly into the boxes that society tries to put them in.
Sure they do. He’s a MAGA. He votes for convicted rapists.
I mean no offense to you, but your dad is a bad person.
And you formed a strong opinion on someone you’ve never met, based on one thing. I don’t mean any offense but that’s the sort of thing a bad person does.
I don’t need to meet a person to know that if they vote for Project 2025 they’re a bad person. And you know this.
Lol no his dad is one of the good Nazis.
👍
Was he a bad person when he was working as a nurse for 45 years? Was he a bad person when he moved in with his mom in his 20s to help her out when his dad died? Was he a bad person when he volunteered at twice a month at a local food shelter? Was he a bad person when he took photos for the sports teams I was on and paid for a kid’s pictures out of his own pocket because the family couldn’t afford them?
Again, you know one thing. You don’t know why he voted that way, I said before, he is a single issue voter, taxes, period.
Don’t bother responding, those were rhetorical questions and I’m tired of conversing with someone so close minded.
Lots of people do things that are good, but then all those things are nulled by the massive damage they do by voting for and supporting pure evil.
As the other user said, your dad is one of the “good” Nazis.
What were his thoughts on Richard Ojeda?
I’m not sure, I moved away before he became a politician and I’ve never heard my dad mention his name. Knowing that he supported the teacher’s strike in 2018 and ran as a democrat, I’m sure my dad didn’t like him. Like I said, he’s life long GOP just not MAGA.
