General Discussion

My mom's first presidential vote was for George McGovern. My dad was likely apolitical before he met my mom and she worked him to register in 1992 to vote Clinton.

My mom's parents were lifelong Democrats. My grandpa did vote Eisenhower during his first election, but likely only did because of his being a general and my grandpa being a WWII vet. Four years later, he changed his vote and supported the Democrats ever since, even being a party delegate for many years.

My grandma voted Democrat in every election, with her last being 2000. I still remember her reaction to the initial announcement of Bush's win. "Ah fuck it. I'm going to bed!"

She despised Reagan, hated Nancy too - thought she was such a phony.

With Nixon, she woke up extra early to watch his final day in office with glee.

My dad's last vote was for Obama in 2008. He passed in 2010.

My mom's last vote was for Biden. She saw him win, but didn't make it to see Trump's final day in office. She hated Trump ... probably more than any politician ever and I am glad she was able to leave this earth knowing he had lost but I really wish she could have seen him leave.
