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

Posted on 10/20/2020 12:28:57 AM PDT by Stravinsky

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.

There is a lot of truth in this. I know a few suburban women - Biden voters of course - who fit this description exactly. Now they find themselves 45-50 and clearly bitter.

Several of them were from conservative families too and have specifically mentioned how veering leftward was some kind of rebellion against their parents.

I hope you enjoy living in the Biden/Harris squalor they have planned for your “suburban lifestyle”.


She’ll love the low income housing right across the road in what used to be pasture and corn fields ... then there will be the expense of installing the 10 foot high razor wire topped fence to keep the burglaries down to a manageable minimum, and the salary for the block security guard with patrol car and associated needle and feces removal companies. Ain’t life under Harris wonderful!

To: right way right

I’d tell her that there’s no need for her to recruit me, that my mind is long made up and that I’m going to vote for Biden enthusiastically. I want them to be flabbergasted the morning of Nov. 4.

wihout anything like the law and order issues that have dominated the US for months, MSM knows what counts in France!

Violence puts French suburbs back on the political stage
Financial Times - 3 days ago
Violence puts French suburbs back on the political stage ... national stage, part of a fight for the law and order vote that is critical to the 2022 presidential race...

yet, FakeNewsMSM in the US has been desperately trying to push the idea Trump has lost the women’s vote in the suburbs!

Annelise Nielsen from Sky News Australia is in the US to cover the election. she bends over backwards to be objective. she has been travelling around the US, listening to the opinions of people.

listen from ***12m17s: Nielsen brings up suburban women voters...law and order is the issue, not covid, not the fear of Roe v. Wade being overturned. Unless Dems get enthusiastic about going out and voting, it could very well be a Trump victory.

Maybe Goldman feels Hunter selling out our country to China, Ukraine, etc etc. etc. and giving half the take to the big guy Joe Biden is an American ‘value’... but it’s not. It’s disgusting.

If Goldman has doubts, she needs to tell us how Joe Biden bought his mansion on a middle class salary.

Claire Galafaro should look into Biden’s mansions and add up his cut of Hunter’s scams. Most of us think it’s wrong to sell out our country for cash kickbacks...

If there are any pearl-clutchers still out there who are easily persuaded by enemy propaganda, please view this video comparing actual early voting vs the stupid polls:

The President has _got_ this, and Karen has already voted.

Our day is election day.

The left is trying to mimic the “soccer mom” vote that went to Bill Clinton.

Tulsi Gabbard fits the bill, but for most part you are correct.
