I admire your honesty. I am surrounded by Democrats. Over the weekend I attended an extended family event (in-laws of a grandson and new expectant parents). I almost choked upon seeing a Harris/Walz sign at the top of the host’s driveway. At 86, and now family Matriarch, I had to maintain social etiquette and leave politics alone for the next few hours until I could manage a polite escape. With a new great granddaughter on the way alienation is not. I did find comfort that in the long winding road to the event theirs was the only sign in hundreds of houses along the route. That signals to me that there are many Trump supporters in Leon Panneta & son Jimmy’s territory. There are no bumper stickers, yard signs bc our opponents are aggressive. They tear down signs, key your car and will even attack old ladies. I speak within the family when I can point out a Harris/Obama policy that will harm them. Almost daily now.

Within my senior community I stick with other Trump supporters, all of whom will be voting in 11/5.

*Panetta* not that it matters. I won’t vote for Jimmy.
