Yes, that is true. I hold my tongue often here. She spoke out about affordability and sending money to Israel, Ukraine, and buying Argentinian beef. I have a real problem with anyone who demands 100% loyalty except God, and a spouse. And even a spouse should not demand "my way or the highway." If a person who is a normie asks questions about many of the issues facing Americans right now, I am not going to dump on them because they "don't understand 5D chess". Isn't that elitist? If something smells fishy, I was taught to find out where the smell comes from and clean it good, not spray cologne on it. I don't agree with her all the time, but I do feel her unfiltered authentic self was a breath of fresh air. She pleaded and asked questions, she never suggested abandoning his platform, she just wanted the platform to include all of us in the making America great again. Putting America first, while making global trade deals does not play that well on main street. And aren't most of us on Main Street? What with the chinese visas, Patel being just goofy and in over his head, and telling us that there is nothing in the epstein files, many people have had it, and she is hearing from them, directly. Her constituents. I don;t know what is a ruse and what is not anymore, and, sure, I am willing to think outside the box, always have been. Not all of his supporters are, and I believe her plea was to not lose the midterms, and was trying to voice her constituents concerns. There is no change without courage, but courage means you have to look at all of it, hear what the populace is saying, and be brave enough to find out. Not lie to people and expect them to accept the lies as necessary. Or just suspend all elections, if you really think that is what has to be done, that way, the American heart and mind does not matter. My life was not affected in one way by the shut down, period. Almost makes me think we can govern ourselves locally and State wide, as people adjust to losing all the safety nets.
