Some hope: my neighbor is a long time conservative [View all]

We were going to a beer tasting tonight and he made a joke about me voting for Trump. I laughed as we both knew that was never going to happen. Then he brought up the mic incident and said no one should ever vote for Trump. I was surprised. I never expected this guy to be against Trump but even more so FOR Harris. He revealed he voted for her. My jaw was on the floor. I asked about his conservative stances… he said “Democracy matters more.” This was a huge relief to me to hear. He is very much a Liz Cheney Republican… and well, I guess he proved that tonight.
