Red Kansas slowly turning Blue? [View all]

I had 23 Aunts & Uncles growing up, all but 3 were farmers and all die hard Rs except one. One of
my aunts from Gove county is recouping in our local hospital (Hays) after surgery and I've been
visiting every day this week. Her husband is MAGA as are probably all of my cousins, I pretty much
quit talking politics around them when dumpie got in the White House, they all bragged about him.

First day I visited I asked her a question about dumpie, her reply shocked me "Can you believe how
much that guy lies every day and people are not smart enough to see it?" That's the condensed
version of what she said!

She's also afraid to talk to anybody about how she views dumpie unless they bring the subject up first.
She mentioned 5/6 cousins who will not be voting for dumpie, this surprised me. All of them are on S.S.

This was my 4th day visiting today and been advising her in tactful ways to approach Rs. She agrees
we all need to vote a straight Democratic ticket in the midterms because elected Rs will not stand
up to the evil. Evil is her nickname for him. Good Lord works in mysterious ways.
