      That seems like an odd sentiment. I’m no Trump supporter, but I can imagine a mindset of “hold on, my family died supporting you and you’re going to give up?”

      In a news report the wife of the deceased said Biden called but she refused the call because the husband was a die hard republican, when asked she said no one from the trump side called.

        Dang. I would pick up for Biden. I think he’s the kind of guy who would talk to you for hours at a BBQ with a nice beer 🍻. Politics is definitely not everything. I think that’s what pisses me off so much about Trump. Man I wanna do all the things in my bucket list before I’m expired but somehow in the background these assholes keep making unnecessary problems. I gotta work on my yard, I got programming to do and kids to entertain but nahhh…the social security money is running out, or nuclear war ahead, or we’ll be deporting all LGBTQA people to Cuba. And it just demands attention constantly. Even though we only vote the one time and our vote doesn’t even count towards electing the president. That’s why I would love to have a constant vote app…you can vote Trump today and if tomorrow he screws up, just remove your vote. If enough people unvote, he’s out.
