Great news! My Republican neighbors are voting for Biden!!!
I live in a red area of Florida. The neighbors in question are a nice couple, & I've done work for them over the years, most recently installing one of those big natural-gas powered Generac generators with a transfer switch that switches their whole house over to the generator when the power goes out, a very handy thing when you live in hurricane country.
I've never detected a hint of racism from them, they've said they've been lifelong Republicans because they lean toward small government & lower taxes, & some time ago when the topic of Trump came up the husband said, with clear dismay, that he felt like "the guy has taken over my party."
Well, this afternoon he came over & rang the doorbell. My wife answered & I overheard most of the conversation. It sounded like he came over specifically to talk about politics, which we've never done before. My wife is Italian (still an Italian citizen) so he started by asking her what her family & friends in Europe think about Trump. My wife, being Italian, didn't hold back. (I love that about her!) Long story short, he's PISSED at Trump & wanted to tell us that after being lifelong Republicans (they're both in their mid/late 50s) he & his wife were voting for Biden. He was surprisingly well-informed & rattled off a whole list of things Trump has done that pissed him off.
He said that he knows where every Trump flag in the neighborhood is (there are 4-5) & every time he drives by those houses he flips them off ... which is exactly what I do! LOL!
What surprised me the most is that he said we would see some signs in his front yard soon. I mean ... a life-long Republican in a red part of FL flipping off Trump flags & putting Biden signs in his yard???
It gives me hope!

Nothing like a conversion bouncy to revive the flagging spirits of the primitives. Lifelong republicans walking away from Trump to hitch their wagons to Dementia Joe. Cool story Bro!

1. These stories keep trickling in. This is really good news.
Like clockwork every four years these "stories" trickle in--you'd think that we would've run out of republicans by now.

3. Thanks...we need to hear these stories!
I suspect we'll be hearing a lot of them in the run up to November.

4. Thanks for dropping the hope bomb!
Good news indeed!
GOOD JOB
Abandon hope, primitive. It's just a make-believe story.

9. I love hearing about Republicans who switch, gives me hope
for the future.
It's false hope because it never happened.

rattled off a whole list of things Trump has done that pissed him off.
Zero bongs. The DUmmie should've listed off a bunch of DUmmie talking points here.

And then my 5 year old daughter started streaming tears down her cute little cheeks. She looked up at me and said" Is the tyrannical orange fascist man going to finally be removed from the office president daddy?" I looked down at that wet hopeful face and tears were coming down my cheeks too. I said "Yes my sweet little girl. He may not leave voluntarily but he will leave."
She looked away and said "I don't understand why the bad Orange Man was not removed by the 25th Amendment. Why wouldn't bad Orange Man's cabinet see reality of the man's clear sociopathic tendencies? For the first time I have hope that our nation can be great and fair for all. That rich people and racist won't control everything."
Well I will tell you I have never been prouder of my 5 year old daughter. I knelt down and hugged her as we both cried tears of happiness over the hope and change that could be our great country.

DU-fiction :bouncy: writers have been getting lazy the past few years.
-
Riots, taxes, gun control, looting, arson, defunding the police, Green New Deal, sexual deviants grooming children, spying on political rivals, malicious criminal prosecutions, lockdowns to ruin the economy, anti Christian bigotry, degradation of white people, toxic feminism, infanticide, reparations, etc, etc, etc.
However shall Biden hold off the stampede of converted Republican voters?

Seems like a perfectly natural reaction from a mentally stable person. :mental:

Oh we got Election Conversion Bouncies. I love me some Election Conversion Bouncies!!! :cheersmate:
Let's rate it, shall we?
Lifelong GOP? Check!
Old folks (50 plus)? Check!
"Surprisingly well informed"? Check!
Rattled off list of GOP (Trump) sins? Check!
Gonna vote for the dem? Check!
Now the above gets me to rate it at least in the upper 60's on the Perky Election Bouncie Scale.
But wait.... there's more!
We got the coup de grace in this:
He said that he knows where every Trump flag in the neighborhood is (there are 4-5) & every time he drives by those houses he flips them off ... which is exactly what I do! LOL!
We got the former well informed life long GOP voter giving the finger to houses that don't agree with his political opinion! OohRah!!! This was an outstanding finish!
So to recap:
Lifelong GOP? Check!
Old folks (50 plus)? Check!
"Surprisingly well informed"? Check!
Rattled off list of GOP (Trump) sins? Check!
Gonna vote for the Dem? Check!
Covered all the bases so it gets a 60%
Missing cops in the bushes, BLM etc, conversion process with no audience clapping, this all detracts... I'm being generous on the negative side cause good Bouncies are hard to find... but the detractions are not that much due to the outstanding finish.
Keep in mind these are watered down ratings due to lack of professional Bouncies... so I give it a 75% on the Perky scale which translates to 8 out of 10 :stoner:

I think some points should be awarded for the "lifelong GOP supporter" voluntarily showing up at neighbors door to talk about his/her epiphany. :whatever:

Jukin- :rofl:
A full grown person driving around flipping off a piece of cloth? This is not what normal people do, that is the tale's fatal flaw.

I missed that entirely. Excellent catch 67 Rover! What can I say... posting while lit. Guilty :thatsright:
I still don't think it should go up to the 90th percentile though. Maybe 80-85. Gotta give the dummies a ladder to climb or they will not perform. :cheersmate:

So he ran completely out of things to do and made a special trip to your house to tell you that after being lifelong Republicans they had decided to vote for a senile socialist with dementia? I guess I've never had that much free time.
