.....So I headed over an hour and a half before the doors were scheduled to open (which was 4 hours before Trump was set to take the stage) and the line already stretched a mile away from the entrance to the arena. As I waited, I chatted with the folks around me. And contrary to all the fears expressed, they were so nice! I was not harassed or intimidated and was never in fear of my safety even for a moment. These were average everyday people. They were veterans, school teachers, and small business owners and they had come from all over the place for the thrill of attending this rally. They were upbeat and excited. In chatting, I even let it slip that I was a democrat and the reaction was “Good for you! Welcome!”
-snip-
As I left the rally ... I knew that there was no way Trump was going to lose in November. Absolutely no way. I truly believe that it doesn’t matter who the Democrats nominate: Trump is going to trounce them. If you don’t believe me, attend one of his rallies and see for yourself. Don’t worry, they really won’t hurt you........
Today, I voted in the New Hampshire Democratic Primary for Pete Buttigieg....But tomorrow, I’ll be changing my voter registration from Democrat to Independent and walking away from the party I’ve spent the last 20 years in to sit in the middle for a while.

It’s a short read, but it seems to recount an honest crushing of political prejudice.
Dude still voted for a homo pervert marxist.
Dude could’ve/should’ve made a write in for DJT.
I saw a rat on FBN this morning talking about republicans who voted in the rat primary and he was bragging about that except from the look on his face I expect he knew that a lot of these were just choosing who Trump would run against...the weakest rat.
One step at a time.
Hi @Lawrence. I’m a D voter in NH. I was also at Trump’s rally last night. You just asked on @msnbc if @realDonaldTrump had ever spoken to a NH voter that didn’t already support him in a way that would convince them to flip. You said no. You were wrong. https://t.co/TJLBLn1sXm— Dr. Karlyn Borysenko (@DrKarlynB) February 12, 2020
I’m a little blown away to have gained almost 2,000 new followers today. I hope you all don’t get bored when I go back to talking about how to be happier at work and build more resilient teams ;-)

Don’t be mean.
A good reminder we are ambassadors of our worldview. Every day in all things small and large.
It may not be fair that the left engages in cancel culture and outright lies (Bo Snerdly has challenged CNN to provide a list of Rush’s so-called “racist” statements) — but that is where we are.
I may get in heated arguments about issues of certain science topics. But even the people who cannot “stand me” would be still the people I would feel free to go to if I had a real problem.
It is who we are and what we do. This author saw beyond the veil of lies and how Conservatives treat not only each other — but EVERYBODY.
But a nudge (noodge?) every now and then is never a bad idea :)
Thanks for posting. I enjoyed the read. I wish more of “them” would be more open to listening to both sides.
I was really happy she felt so welcome at the Trump rally despite letting them know that she was a democrat.
Leave her alone. Her heart is in the right place, and we should be welcoming to anyone and everyone who wants to save this great nation.
Yes, he said he did. He also says he is changing his affiliation to Independent and will vote for President Trump in November. Did he? Will he? Don’t know.
I don’t quite get how someone who says he voted for the socialist BootyGig could abandon the fag candidate and all he stands for then later vote for President Trump.
If you got your mind right why cast a vote for any socialist democrat at all? Why would you not abstain? Change your affiliation and then later vote for President Trump.
This story just doesn’t add up for me.
Agree 100%. Every conservative is welcome. I’m so glad she felt welcomed and not afraid — as it should be.
Great article, wise people would read and understand the significance of what is going on.
Come on, man, don’t be a jerk. It’s uncalled for.

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. This woman actually opened her mind enough to go to a Trump rally and she didn’t belittle any of the people she met. She also changed from a D to an I. Like most people here, I think the former mayor from Indiana would make a horrible president, but that’s who she voted for and we should respect that. But really, don’t make fun of her and push her back into the other camp. We should stay on the high road.
