Evan Hurst features two just-released videos reminding women that their votes are secret and no one, including a Trump-voting husband, has the right to coerce them when it comes to voting choices.

The 5 daughters she raised were fiercely independent women. Despite the penury the Depression caused the family, the older 2 managed to get through college and became teachers. The younger 3 graduated from a 2-year business college and held good jobs all their lives.
Woe betide any man who'd ever have tried to tell them how to vote. I'm confident all would be voting for Kamala Harris now if they were alive, except perhaps for the one sister who was a regular churchgoer.

@wdlindsy One is put in mind of those occasional notes we find in Chinese-made consumer goods: "Help...I'm Uighur, working in a jean factory..."

@SonofaGeorge Indeed -- sadly so.

@wdlindsy I love this story. My grandmother was a very strong woman too.

@wdlindsy Being a Trump supporter is disqualifying in a mate IMO. Cannot imagine voluntarily living with someone with a Trumpist worldview.

@liquor_american I find it hard to imagine, too. I suppose many of us end up yoked to people we really didn't know at the time we married them.

@Beachbum Thanks for telling me it was worth reading. We're fortunate to have had strong grandmothers!

@wdlindsy My mother did the same, up until my father died earlier this year! It's always been very private to her. She wasn't gonna let him know what she was thinking. Probably because he was such an obnoxious fascist.
But sometimes she gave hints. She wasn't quite 21 (voting age) in 1960, but decades later admitted she might have voted for Kennedy. My father said, "If you'd have voted for Kennedy I wouldn't have married you!" She said, "Too bad I didn't know it would have been that easy."

@bamfic I love your mother's cheeky response to your father. Good for her!
