How Trump's coronavirus briefings convinced one of his voters to turn to Joe Biden

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Nancy Shively has a difficult choice to make.

The school she works at has announced plans to reopen just as it normally would after the summer months, despite a raging pandemic that has taken nearly 150,000 American lives.

When the students return to classrooms in mid-August, they won’t be required to wear any face masks, according to Shively.

The 63-year-old Oklahoma resident lives in a little town just north of Tulsa, and has feared contracting the novel coronavirus since it reached the United States earlier this year. Shively has multiple autoimmune diseases, and is immunosuppressed because she does not have a spleen.

The decision not to go back to school next month, where Shively works in special ed intervention for kids who are struggling with math and reading, would put her out of work -- but it might also save her life.

As she mulls over the unfortunate reality of having to choose between her students or protecting her personal health, at least Shively can rest easy knowing her mind is fully made up when it comes to the 2020 presidential elections.

The pandemic has provided Shively — and many voters like her — with a moment of reckoning. A lifelong Republican who has voted for every GOP presidential candidate since 1976, Shively will be casting her ballot in November for former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee.

1. smh

Still, she felt Trump was “gross and a misogynist” during the 2016 election, “but picking between him and Hillary Clinton was like choosing the lesser of two evils.”

“I figured he was the lesser of those two evils,” she says. “Well, I was wrong on that"


I can't fucking even with these people. I'm sorry to all the good people on our side that want a big tent and feel we need every vote and should embrace the change in attitude. Sorry, but she can go straight to hell with her stupid ass. Voting for Biden is only the beginning of what he and her ilk need to do. What's going to happen is they are going to vote Democratic for two elections. We'll fix things, and if she isn't dead from covid or whatever else she'll go right back to voting for every Republican she can. She did this to us, they did this to us. They've had their hands firmly on the wheel as we careened towards the cliff at 125 mph. All because they can't live their lives without hating brown people.

2. put it this way

at least she admitted how wrong she was

3. The country is getting more non white so they have less power. Without the electoral college

they might be dead.

[Goodheart]

6. How is Hillary Clinton evil AT ALL, you dumb motherfucker?

That's what I as an interviewer would have asked.

10. If you live in red America you were pickled in anti Hilary rhetoric

by Limbaugh and the ilk for over 3 decades. Then it was all amplified by facebook and the Russian sent bots.

It was the urban people’s betrayal of all of us who live in rural areas, who NEVER listened to our please for help, how they terrorize us. We were ignored.

Now The nation suffers what we have been living through for decades. But nobody cared, or believed us.

7. !

deeply ugly person - and I agree - OH they finally GET IT? ONLY NOW, when 150,000 are dead and THEY'RE AFRAID they'll get sick? UGH.

[Goodheart]

4. "Lifelong Republican"

I'm almost tempted to say "you reap what you sow, dumbass", except that a lot of innocent lifelong DEMOCRATS will also be caught up in this conundrum.

5. Wake up America.

8. She works in a school.

She has personal health issues, and she votes Republican? I say, she deserves what she gets.

I'm so fucking tired of people thinking I should ooh and ahh over life-long Republicans FINALLY seeing the light. Well, I won't. They had access to the same information as the rest of us, and they deliberately chose the dark side.

The nicest think I'm willing to say to them is, "It's about fucking time."
