My Trump-voting teaching partner is now a Democrat.

I love my partner. She is young and had not been "woke." We had not discussed politics since prior to the election, and even then I wasn't pushy about anything. She had voted Trump on the advice of her pastor, had been steeped in Hillary-hate, but Parkland changed everything. We teach second grade in Texas and she will be voting straight Democrat in early voting.

1. Good for her. I'm sure it probably set her free. As a chrisitian woman, she had to know what

an a$$hole the Dotard is. She's now liberated.

2. Awesome that it's in Texas

I have high hopes that we will one day take that state back from the forces of darkness. Every vote helps.

3. I am witnessing it. And get this, when she mentioned to another colleague about her decision,

this MEpublican colleague apparently said, "You better not let that get out. People around here don't like Democrats." I can attest to that. My John Kerry sign had me on the outs with several neighbors for a spell.

8. There may be more like her----in hiding.

4. Good. I hope she finds a better pastor, too.

5. This just gets better and better. Thanks for sharing.

Let's return Texas to the days of Mark White and Ann Richards- Those were the days.

6. As Biden said, this is a big f***ing deal.

Another teacher across the hall, a Trump supporter, is aghast that this is his answer.

7. I welcome her to the party!

I'm glad she finally picked through the religious-based brainwashing and got her priorities straight.

9. Yes!

This is so good to hear.
