105. I have a daughter who voted for him

Tue Jun 23, 2026, 08:16 PM

Tuesday

She makes good money and just wants tax cuts, but she also pays high taxes living in CA.

She is the child I am the closest to because we hike, do yoga, wine taste and more together. We just don’t mention him ever. She told me the other day she doesn’t like him didn’t vote for him voted R.

Rest of family are democrats.

To me it’s not worth losing my daughter over.

I bet a lot of republicans feel that way.

Hopefully your son will wake up one day. My daughter used to be Democrat until current boyfriend and other managers at work got to her.
