Boomer Mom has voted republican since 1968.

My mom is very boomer. I love her more than anything... but VERY BOOMER. 🤪
She has 100% voted republican for 56 years.
Why? Because my father always voted republican.
Pop's was born in 1940. Very typical guy of that age. Wife stayed home and took care of the house, kids etc. He worked and made good money. She brought him his plate of food for all meals, hell, she even kept it warm until he came home (which was often a hours late bc he was out at the bar.)
That said. Pop's said, cast your vote republican. And so she did.
He passed away a couple years ago.

Mom has been asking questions.
Mom: I heard that Kamala is giving free medicaid, food and housing to the illegals. Is that correct?
Me: Explained how all that works and although she wasn't thrilled that LEGAL immigrants can apply for medicaid after a 5 year waiting period, she got it. (I also expained that on both her and dad's grandparents came from other countries, making her only one generation away from being one of these immigrants). That helped 😉
Mom: I heard that Kamala was from Canada. Me: Nope, born in California and documents are available for legal proof.
Mom: Did she give all the hurricane money to illegals? Did she then let them have sex changes?
Me: Nope. All lies to get people to not vote for her.

I was thrilled she was at least asking and learning.

In between all these question days, Trump did the eating cats and dogs stuff. Mom knew that was BS and was not happy at all about him saying that.
She only watched the one debate between them and she was generally appalled at Trumps actions and responses.

Then, "democrats" control the weather came out. She was full of her boomer self yelling "NO ONE CONTROLS THE WEATHER! THIS IS SO OUT OF LINE! " Full blown fit. (It was great watching it lol).

Then the ads came out that said, "You CAN vote the way YOU want to vote. You do not need your husbands permission. He will not be able to see who you vote for. Vote the way YOU want.
She asked me the very day this ad came out.
Mom: Is this true? Is it ok to vote the way I want VS the way your dad always said to vote?
Me: YES!! This IS true momma! No matter if he was alive or not, you can ALWAYS and should ALWAYS vote the way YOU want. (and this killed me) - you can vote for Trump if you want. Mom: Oh HELL NO! I hate that asshole!

Baaahahahaaa 😂 That was the best gift she could ever give me!

We did the vote early thing.

SHE VOTED FOR "THAT WOMEN!" YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All this typing to say that was the best ad the democrats could have ever put out for these boomer women! I can only hope that MANY women will take that ad to heart and do what THEY want.

(OMG, and to say she voted for Kamala Harris!! WOOOHOOO!)

Progress my friends!
