'Our House Is on Fire': Suburban Women Lead Charge Vs. Trump
US News & World Report ^ | October 19, 2020 | Claire Galafaro

TROY, Mich. (AP) — She walks with the determination of a person who believes the very fate of democracy might depend on the next door she knocks on, head down, shoulders forward. She wears nothing fussy, the battle fatigues of her troupe: yoga pants and sneakers. She left her Lincoln Aviator idling in the driveway, the driver door open -- if this house wasn’t the one to save the nation, she can move quickly to the next.

For most of her life, until 2016, Lori Goldman had been politically apathetic. Had you offered her $1 million, she says, she could not have described the branches of government in any depth. She voted, sometimes.

Now every moment she spends not trying to rid America of President Donald Trump feels like wasted time.

“We take nothing for granted,” she tells her canvassing partner. “They say Joe Biden is ahead. Nope. We work like Biden is behind 20 points in every state.”

Goldman spends every day door knocking for Democrats in Oakland County, Michigan, an affluent Detroit suburb. She feels responsible for the country’s future: Trump won Michigan in 2016 by 10,700 votes and that helped usher him into the White House. Goldman believes people like her -- suburban white women -- could deliver the country from another four years of chaos.

For many of those women, the past four years have meant frustration, anger and activism — a political awakening that powered women's marches, the #MeToo movement and the victories of record numbers of female candidates in 2018. That energy has helped create the widest gender gap — the political divide between men and women — in recent history. And it has started to show up in early voting as women are casting their ballots earlier than men.

“We work like Biden is behind 20 points in every state.” …
So do we, Karen Lori, but we work to make sure he is that far behind . . .

The image in the article (posted in number five) sums up that voter quite well.

Careful. My sister is a Karen — and is actually named Karen. She is also rabidly pro-Trump.

Oakland County stretches from the edge of Detroit more than 30 miles, through moneyed subdivisions, quaint small towns and swanky shopping districts, into rural stretches with dirt roads and horse pastures. Goldman has covered nearly every inch of it.

With triplets at home? Or maybe three kids is the reason why she is running the roads. What other reason could there be for a nice Jewish lady to go 30 miles from town on dirt roads into horse pastures?

Just what I figured. All in for abortion but can’t find a man that can stomach her.

“For most of her life, until 2016, Lori Goldman had been politically apathetic. Had you offered her $1 million, she says, she could not have described the branches of government in any depth. She voted, sometimes.”

And she probably still cannot describe the branches of government satisfactorily. She represents the worst kind of uninformed voter and most likely chose Democrats in the few times she voted.

She leaves the engine running, sending pollution into the atmosphere. That's not good. Not good at all.

Useless News & World Distort may be a worthless rag, but they did an excellent job selecting that photo...
