Just got back from visiting family in a red state - Trump has a LOT to be worried about (wow)

I was over at my dads house today helping with some household chores. He lives in a very rural area of a very red state. At the end of the work we went to one of the nearby country bars. It's the kind of place that farmers, truckers, and legit cowboy boot wearers and the working class go to unwind with a cold one.

Vice President Harris was on the TV, and the local gun store owner said to his auto mechanic (friends since high school):

"You know what? She ain't so bad. The economy is recovering, nobody's rioting, and we're standing up on the world stage again. Can't believe I'm saying this but Ol' Oakland Kam's got my vote this year."


I looked around and all I saw were heads nodding in agreement. I heard a few calls of "Yes sir" and "Damn straight" from the men around me. Even saw the lonely ball cap wearing farmer in the corner raised his drink with a nod.

Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of red states (Oklahoma, Nebraska etc) go blue this year.

Way to just copy/paste from Twitter. F+ for effort.
