Dumbfounded. I just don't understand what people see in Trump. Let me share briefly how my county voted. 80% voted for Trump, and 16% voted for Harris here, which doesn't surprise me. None of the Democrats got elected here. A few Rhino made, and they will be going to our state capital in 2025. RHINO stands for Republican In Name Only. I voted for two Rhinos. If a candidate has a D after your name. Here in Idaho, you have No chance of making it.
Then, we had both a Maintenance and Operation levy for our public school district and a bond levy to build a new grade school. Both got voted down.
We also voted for one proposition to get rid of close primaries and another to change the Idaho Constitution to not let illegal aliens vote in Idaho elections. The change in the constitution was just a waste of ink. Illegal aliens can't vote. The other part of Proposition 1 also had RANK CHOICE VOTING. I think that might have something to do with the failure of Proposition One.
I consider myself an independent voter. But I lean liberal and or progressive.

I went to my watercolor class, which I didn't finish, and then I went to have pork chops with mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, and beets.
...I'm dumbfounded too!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a very well-informed voter, Dora! It's a tough day in the USA for progressive people.
ReplyDeleteArt class might have been therapeutical on such a day.
ReplyDeleteI'm gutted today. Saw someone in a truck with a huge flag, and I couldn't resist shouting out expletives at them. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI’m from NY. The state went for Harris, we reelected Gillebrand to the Senate, and we passed an amendment to our state constitution to protect abortion rights and other personal liberties.
ReplyDeleteOn Long island we flipped a congressional district from red to blue, so we now have two Republicans and two Democrats. So there’s some good news.
