One of my favorite strategists, inspiring intelligent women.

Big Tara Setmayer fan. She and Michelle Kinney have a good rapport and analysis of the current political situation that’s both informative and entertaining. And when Tara gets going on one of her rants it’s just awesome! I’m a Democrat, yet I keep gravitating to all these exiled Republicans. The Lincoln Project, The Bulwark, The Seneca Project (it’s half Republican anyway.). I wonder what this says about me? LOL.

I wish I’d stumbled across you pre election but better late than never. My daughter is American/Australian and they voted Harris and their father (my ex) voted Trump. They can’t talk to him. We are seeing trickle down here already. Conservatives openly against abortion whereas before they wouldn’t say it out loud!!
