Gavin Volure’s Peanut ButterApr 8, 2024

My 90 yo mom, who we triumphantly snatched from the precipice of Trumpism a couple years ago merely by replacing her Fox news with CNN, is staying with me at the farm for the weekend. We watched MSNBC this afternoon, and of course there was a bunch of disparaging Trump campaign coverage. She muttered — when Al Sharpton brought up Trump’s most recent self-comparison to Jesus — “I can’t believe I voted for that asshole.”

@iBlame in the UK, my mother was an avid Daiky Mail reader. We occasionally talk about politics and she kept wondering why some of the stuff I was talking about she knew nothing about. I subscribed her to the Independent and now she’s started a one woman campaign in the village about water pollution and says she’s never voting Conservative again.

@richardknott Bravo! I guess sometimes that’s all it takes. My mom was the same way here in the states. “Why did I never hear about Trump grabbing pussy?” she will say to me now. And don’t get me started on how I had to define “schlong” to her because Trump used it in some dumb remark. The upshot is, Mom is voting Biden this fall. Despite her observation, as a 90 yo voter, that he is “painfully infirm.” LOL
