She is scheduled to be here in Carson City, Nevada tomorrow. One of the gals asked, “Are you going?” And I thought we all had another thing in common. So I replied, “To protest?” And all six of them said simultaneously, “NO, to support her!” What? How can this be? How could these intelligent women support someone who wants to take away their right to choose. Take away their daughters’ rights. And their granddaughters’. The right to govern their own bodies! How could they support a woman who hid her pregnancy from her constituents and family until her 7th month? How could they support someone who tried to ban great literature from her local library? I needed help understanding. And then I realized I would never understand. So as I sat there stunned into silence, the gal sitting next to me put her arm around me and said, “That’s why I never talk politics.”

Looks like it might be time to reinstate my Canadian citizenship!
