  10.  Denise G.  As someone who was born and raised in Manhattan and lived half my life there, before I moved to LA, I know that you probably don't know 1 person who even voted for Trump. The standard has always been, even for Republicans, to vote Democrat on the local level. And even my Republican friends who still live in the city dislike Trump (including the ones I know secretly voted for him), because the pressure to hate him is just too great. However if you reread what you wrote, it comes across as one-sided to say that I am the one who was brainwashed (I can't be indoctrinated into somewhere I always belonged). Both sides are equally guilty. However I find the double standard of things like "peaceful protests" that end up with neighborhoods beings terrorized by rioting and looting, very tiresome. Especially when I live and work in one of them. Biden and Harris both have terrible track records (their voting records are all public record and readily available to anyone who wants to spend a few minutes to look them up--yet most don't)--whereas, on the top things I look at when supporting a candidate, Trump has actually done quite well. Had he never been given a cell phone or Twitter account, the past 4 years would have played out very differently. But I can look past that and focus on the things that matter to me and affect my everyday life. Just as I don't need to wait and see with Biden as far as what he will do once in office and how I will feel about it. I just hope he can help steer his party in the right direction so that all the people who feel like they won can comport themselves in a respectful manner going forward, instead of acting like the angry, misinformed animals they have been behaving like up until this point.

  11.  Denise G.  I hear you and agree with most of your points. I try to stay away from the sweeping generalizations--in general, but specifically within the context of politics. Blame it on my age, but it is getting very disheartening to view an entire generation who act like (and likely are) simply uneducated, misinformed, morons! I can't take it anymore. And while I try to comfort myself that I am sending 4 kids into the world who are not uneducated, misinformed, or just plain stupid, I find myself checking in on them to double check--similar to the way one checks on their newborn who finally stopped crying and fell asleep but you think they stopped breathing, lol. Because we can't compare it to when we were in college, 30 years ago, as there was no internet or social media and it is like comparing apples and oranges. They are both fruit, but... and then add in the fact that, as you mentioned, the Dems dropped the ball now twice--2016 was also a bust--and so while you voted more against Trump, I definitely voted not only against Biden, but again Harris. I am truly frightened by a Harris Presidency, largely bc I focus my vote heavily on foreign policy and her is somewhere between terrible and non-existent to dangerous. I have 2 kids studying abroad and while I care about the environment, I am more concerned about a nuclear Iran (luckily they don't even want to get into bed with Biden even tho he is already warming the sheets!). I can't stand AOC +3. They are simply the end result of a PR exec's wet dream, but one day people will wake up and realize that it was all a one night stand seen through beer googles. In the morning you realize it was all just a bad idea and there isn't the substance to it that you thought would be there past midnight. It is scary how dumb AOC is and how anti-semitic Ilan Omar is. I spoke not thunk, however, that Trump is racist (if it even matters anymore), and I know that he is not anti-semitic. And while Jared is certainly not the smartest in the family (Kushner, not Trump), the Abraham Accord was truly a historic achievement that everyone unfortunately overlooks. I don't think they will be all that welcome back into NY Society (even at KJ), but for the sake of their kids (who are so far, quite lovely actually), I hope people remember the positive things that he was able to achieve as he still has a whole life ahead of him, whereas we won't have to deal with Trump for that much longer. Which bring me back to why I would never have even considered voting for Biden. Hopefully the Dems do better next time around so it is at least a less divisive election! This one was straight out of the history books. I just hope we don't now have to live through The Terror and can all move on. Together, as one nation.

  12.  Denise G.  And thank you as well! Especially for not becoming aggressive or calling me names! It is crazy some of the conversations (with strangers) I get involved in (I am female, btw). And I do agree there are bad apples in every party, but it is the ones who danger my life and that of my family directly that I keep an eye on. But actions speak louder than words--or 140 characters on Twitter--and I pay more attention to people's intentions and what motivates them. Just as I put more weight into my personal experience and interactions with individuals rather than their party affiliation. One conversation or experience can affect a person's actions more than a history of voting records. So one photo op, be it Ivanka and a can of beans or Gavin in a restaurant without a mask, never tells the whole story. I didn't mean that Jared was lovely, but his kids. And while Charlie is truly an awful human being, Jared did actually turn out OK, and Arabella is not nearly as spoiled as one would think (yet, atleast). As I always tell my kids, nice goes a long way. As does loyalty. So for the things that matter to me (and my family), I don't have any beef with them. Just as I don't let things like jealousy, or opinions driven by media, influence my views. Watch some of the Campus Reform videos of interviews of college students--they have so little understanding about the things they take a stance on. But they do it anyway to be cool and "woke". I would rather they expended that energy on things they actually cared about and understood. Otherwise one is just wandering aimlessly through the world without a goal in sight.
