My nail lady is Vietnamese and one of the hardest workers I know. Both in 2020 and 2024 - she told me that the majority of the Vietnamese community was behind Trump and were voting for him. In 2020, most of the ladies who worked at the salon she was working all told me that they LOVE Trump.
It was an entitled white woman based on her hands.

I literally just watched a video on X where a woman tried to pay for her nails with an EBT card and claimed she called and was told they accepted any form of payment and she wouldn't have "driven out all this way" to get her nails done if they weren't going to accept EBT for payment. The guy gave her a good dressing down that EBT is for FOOD that taxpayers paid for and he wasn't going to do something illegal over a set of nails. She was so confident she was in the right.
The person who tipped them off about this plant is an ex marine woman who is a firearms trainer now, mostly for other women, but a guy friend of mine took lessons from her, which is how I first learned of her.

So I wasn’t going to say anything about this, but let me make it clear. Yes I did report the Hyundai plant to ICE and yes, I did talk to an agent. I also sent him contact info for people that had evidence. I know there were multiple people involved. I never told the news outlets that I took Sole responsibility. I can’t help how they frame a conversation. I have gotten hate mail from all over the country with people telling me to die Or that I should be in fear. I served this country and I’ll go down with the ship before someone silences me. I’ve been very vocal about illegal immigration from the very start of the Biden administration and have been to the border three times. So I don’t know why anybody is shocked. It takes two seconds to scroll my page. I’m pretty sure some of these are paid agitators because they’re popping up from all over the country. What they’re not understanding is that there were more Koreans apprehended than anyone else. No criminal charges have been filed as of yet, and from what I understand there were some working in slave conditions that were brought here against their will allegedly. This isn’t about discrimination, it’s about slave labor and illegal workers.<
I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain of a sudden, unexpected loss, as I just lost my Daddy almost 3 weeks ago, suddenly and unexpectedly. I am still mourning his loss. While grateful that he didn't suffer a long illness before his death, the sudden loss is hard to wrap my brain around. I will keep you and KB in my prayers.
My boyfriend doesn't do much internet, but he watches MSM. And has always voted Dem. But he really is a conservative in his beliefs and views. He started changing the channel to Fox News on his own (I know, but baby steps). He's the type of person who digs in when you try to change his mind, so I just dropped little nuggets here and there and didn't force anything. He's a good man, even if he's been clueless all these years.
It took one commercial - the one about Kamala paying for prisoners to get sex re-assignment surgery - for his conservatism to kick in and go "Oh HELL no!!!"
He proudly told me that he voted a straight Republican ticket and where the incumbent was unchallenged and a Dem, he just didn't vote, because he didn't want to vote for any Dem.
Believe me - this is a BIG deal. Also helps our next door neighbors who we play cards with every weekend are MAGA, and our other next door neighbors who are Hispanic are also MAGA. And he likes and respects both sets of neighbors. The wife has been ranting to me about illegal Venezuelans for a few years now.
My next door neighbors are Hispanic - and we adore this family. The wife has warned about the illegal Venezuelans for a few years now - she hates them. We are always looking out for each other (she texts me if she sees a suspicious vehicle in front of my house). They are both voting for Trump.
Another population that is very pro Trump is the Vietnamese community. My nail tech who I've been going to for years now talks about Trump all the time and how she doesn't know a single person in her community that ISN'T voting for Trump.
My print out correctly showed Donald Trump and all my down votes. My boyfriend who voted for Biden, voted all R candidates. The only "shenanigans" is that we also voted earlier this year to start a new city (passed), and needed to vote for our district council person in a different room. No one asked us if we needed to vote for City of Mulberry council - we had to ask to vote and directed to that location. Our county does not want this new city and has been suing to dissolve the will of the people and are deliberately not "advertising" that there's only one early voting location where we can vote for council person, and earlier in the week had no signage about it either (they did today).
I wish that for you too. I'm blessed - neighbors on both side of me are totally on the Trump train and pay attention to what's going on. One follows Q as well as the wife's sister, the other side is a Hispanic family, and the wife is always sending me videos and X posts. She HATES Venezuelan illegals - she's been warning me about them for years now. She's REALLY concerned about the amnesty that Biden has given them and that we can't extradite them - I assured her that Trump will remove the amnesty. Another neighbor is also based that I'm friends with. The four households are always looking out for one another, all gun owners as well. We all agree to look out for each household.
Then at work - my boss is based, and one co-worker on my team is as well. Boss is an Army veteran as well as a National Guard veteran. Co-worker and I go on break together and discuss what's going on.
In my broader friend circle, I also have several friends who are awake. Including a gay friend who's been to every Trump rally in Georgia (we met through an adult adoptee group) and a gay friend from high school who proudly supports Trump.
My brother is firmly in the lib camp, but we agree to disagree (even though I've tried). He's also a photographer for a local paper in NC, and he went to the Trump rally in Asheboro. He said that everyone was very nice and cordial to him EXCEPT for a fellow photographer who was a real ass. He said he had nice conversations with so many people. But - his friend circle who has the most influence on him are the artist community in Asheboro.
This is arguably the most iconic moment in my memory and no matter how often I see it and remember it, it fills me with emotion and love for Trump. I've always been MAGA - but the pride I felt for him at this particular moment is difficult to describe.
So thankful my boss is based (former army and recently retired from the National Guard), and one of the hardest workers I know. When we started working a hybrid schedule, I was surprised how many of my co-workers I KNOW voted for Biden were talking about they were 100% voting for Trump now.
This was a great interview of him by Tucker Carlson - https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1798520181112664531
Will be praying for you both. The thumb sounds like "trigger finger/thumb", which I have had, and had an outpatient surgery for. They tried a steroid injection first, and since I'm diabetic - I opted NOT to do a second round and went for surgery. It's been probably 3 years now since the surgery and it hasn't returned.
I blocked him and his brother a few years ago, so I didn't have to read their drivel.
