We put a Harris/Walz sign out in our yard the other day. We have decided not to take it in at night. Every morning I get up and check to see if it is still there. So far, so good.
The Unfriendly Republican across the street usually has signs in his yard. No Trump sign yet, although it is still early. The UR is Catholic, which I have determined because he has a statue of St. Francis of Assisi amidst the bushes in front of his house. I still wonder why a good Catholic would support a liar, a cheat, a rapist? I know, I'm naive. The thing is, when I was a good Catholic I took all that dogma seriously. I believed that good was to be strived for, and evil was obviously to be triumphed over.
Their Jesus never said don't have an abortion, but he most certainly said to love our neighbor as ourselves. It's as simple as that, you know?

I don't understand evangelicals supporting him either. I'm naive too.
ReplyDeleteIt is just so strange, this one-issue religiosity. It will lead to disaster.
DeleteI also wonder how a devout Catholic can be okay with people who lie and cheat and commit heinous crimes. Hypocrisy seems to be the name of the game.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteCatholics the world over have been and still are involved in the most henious atrocities often in the name of their god. No surprise there.
ReplyDeleteTrue that.
DeleteSomehow he has convinced them he is the orange jesus. Some refuse to research their candidates.
ReplyDeleteIt is baffling that anyone can still listen to Trump, and now Vance, and choose to vote for them after all the evidence that shows they are not fit for public office. Baffling that a portion of the U.S. population sees Trump as "savior."
ReplyDeleteOn my way home today, I saw a small blue yard sign with the words "We're not perfect but at least we're not nuts," in gold lettering.
My dear friend from WI, who is a poll supervisor, tells me the only house she knows of that always has a yard of signs supporting Democrat candidates has nothing out this year. And one of her kennel customers assures her "they have the pet eaters on tape!" It will be a long time until November 6th.
ReplyDeleteYikes.
DeleteI put my Kamala Harris 2024 magnet on my car bumper today. My friend had an extra as someone at her church "suggested" that she might not want to display it as others at the church might get the wrong idea about her! I couldn't believe it so I said I would be glad to have one of those magnets for my car. Voting on one issue while ignoring all of the other issues is crazy.
ReplyDeleteI will never understand why so many religious people have gravitated to possibly the least religiously observant leader our country has ever had.
ReplyDeleteGo girl, pin your colours to the mast! She must surely succeed.
