My discussions with a Texas Republican - not what you think [View all]
On our current trip to Switzerland, my wife and I took a small group tour - two couples and a beautiful guide. The other couple are from TX. She’s a Democrat and he’s a Republican.
Not wanting to stir the hornets nest, I chose to avoid politics, but that horse don’t run too long.
He is a former military man. What was surprising is that he said he wouldn’t vote for Trump. I honestly believe that there are a lot of Republicans who do in fact realize that the Trump is fucking crazy.
We agreed on many things. Surprisingly he had compassion for immigrants, at which point I said he had the attribute of “woke”. We agreed on border security, the security of our country and many more issues. I agreed with some of his beliefs as well.
All I can surmise is that there are a lot of Republicans out there who know that TFG is a threat. He won’t vote for Harris but also won’t vote for Trump. We had a good long conversation and it left me with more hope than despair.
Forgive me if I don’t reply to follow-up comments as I’ll be on the road again tomorrow.
