Today I was talking with a friend who supports and who voted for Trump. We were talking about the vast space in between the left and the right, the DMZ, if you will. Would either of us be willing to reach across the DMZ aisle for any specific issues.
She surprised me by saying that she would reach across the aisle for an issue that is near and dear to my heart, women's health care rights! And she is my second Trumper friend who has said this to me. I find it particularly interesting because this is such a foundational
conservative issue that the "moral majority" bases its legs on.
She then said something that I knew I had to post here.
"I'm not against voting for a female president..as long as she was someone like FDR's wife."
I replied, "Your bar is so high for a female candidate that she has to be
equivalent to Eleanor Roosevelt but you will go ground low for a male candidate?"
Sadly.
