Being a Baggies fan for over 15 years now and a special education teacher, am used to ups and downs and stress haha, so we will see what happens.
Surely you can't be lumping Trump and Harris together with the tired old 'They're all as bad as each other' refrain. Nobody is nearly as bad as Trump. Harris came out as an articulate person who has the best interests of the American people at heart. Trump, the convicted felon, showed that he was a compulsive liar who only has the best interests of Donald J Trump at heart. There is absolutely no comparison.
My thoughts, exactly.
Then again, I was just reading an article featuring some elderly lass in the post-industrial backwashes of Michigan who said that whilst she admired Harris in the debate, she'd probably vote for trump as "he was a man of his word" and that, although "he had done some wrong things, he should be forgiven".... at which point you have to factor in the extensive reach of Fox in the US and realise that many people only receive the sanitized version of trump. Depressingly the way of the world and very close to the state-controlled propaganda we scoff at in places like Russia.
