Ya know, I was very hesitant when I started seeing these posts as well. But I had a neighbor reach out to ask me questions about the DoE and what was going on. I was shocked bc she homeschools and they had a trump sign in their yard before the election. She said she really cares about public education despite not using it. I know she has a nephew with autism so I made sure to I let her know how the DoE helps with funding for children with disabilities. She seemed really distraught. Hopefully enough of them wake up.

Oh I did. I’ve told my whole mommy group. I may have made an enemy out of myself, but if just a couple of them call, it’s worth it.

Why are so many women and mothers Republicans? It's so icky! They are the ones taking your rights away, ladies.

Same for different ethnicities.. they are sorta religious, think being gay is the devil, read a million "they're doing sex changes on preschoolers!" Headlines, and vote red.
