The second night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago featured not only well-known Democrats like former President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama and Doug Emhoff (presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ husband), but also, some conservative Republicans who are backing Harris — including Stephanie Grisham (who served as press secretary for the Trump White House as well as former First Lady Melania Trump), Ana Navarro (a GOP strategist known for her scathing Never Trump commentary on CNN and “The View”) and Mesa, Arizona Mayor John C. Giles.

Did these voters not see this all before? What was it that changed…

Like, I’m glad things are turning around but… what changed?

No one wants to be on the losing side. Not that this election is a sure thing, but people shift with the wind and then tell themselves they “called” it.

They didn’t care before because it was in their interest to support him. Now it’s not.

There are a few who truly paid the price of opposing him and I can at least respect that. Kinzinger, Cheney, for examples…not that I would agree with them on much, but they at least stood up to Trump when it mattered.

Make no mistake — there are still millions and millions in Trump’s cult. And they will do everything they can to not lose again and again and again. Even when Trump dies, they’ll find some other horrible person to latch onto because they give the cultists permission to be assholes out in the open.

This won’t be over until this kind of uneducated nonsense is bred out. And I mean that from all angles: literal cycle of life, as well as improving the education system in this country.

At this point, I don’t know anybody rational who would vote for GOP candidate. Unless they’ve been conned by psuedo-Christians who are claiming their afterlives are on the line,
