once a week at the lunch hour. This week, I sat with a couple who were life long repubbies. They are done with being repubbies.

They say they are planning to attend our protests and to vote Democratic. They will have a chance to begin all that next week, and to vote in our March primary.

Cuts to SNAP;
No support for people using the ACA;
Federal employees out of work;
Layoffs everywhere;
Food price increases;
Rent increases;
Car prices increases;
The fraying of the "social safety net";
The ICE in the streets - acting like both the military and the police;
Wages where a full time job doesn't enabler a person to live;
A POS POTUS that is doing everything to divide Americans;
Now that previously identified POS is trying to get us into a war with our traditional allies in support of his Russian handler;
The churches going full white-nationalism;
And to finally top it off - they're shooting white women;
shit gonna get real;

My stylist's daughter started working with him a few years ago. They are pretty conservative and Catholic. Yesterday, Dad left to get supplies for the shop while she was doing my brows. She asked me about my part-time job and I told her that the federal government canceled the contract 5 months after it was renewed. She rather cautiously started going off on Trump. She said that she and her husband are turning purple and they are very upset with the cruelty coming out of the White House.
