The pro-Trump woman said she wouldn’t worry because he’s only going to be in for three more years. The first woman sighed and said look what he’s done already.

The more pro-Trump woman wax talking about how she watches Bret Baier on Fox because she thinks he presents both sides. And that the media exaggerates what Trump says. The less pro-Trump Republican woman said she doesn’t watch Fox.

Heading out now. But I thought it was a relatively nuanced conversation that also showed the power of partisan identification and selective media exposure. Even the pro-Trump woman admitted she lives in her own world and doesn’t listen to some things people say.

Also, if you’re in Aiken, SC, get the chocolate and peanut butter ice cream! So good!

This is what downtown Aiken looks like. A beautiful day here. I hope it is where you are too!

Also, the more pro-Trump woman sounded like she thought the DOGE cuts were good because they’d root out waste and then Congress would build back the good parts of programs in legislation in future years. The other woman was concerned about Trump eliminating NPR.

I would have had a very hard time listening to this... I'm disgusted by most Republicans becuz they continue to support trump's fascist, cruel, and hateful policies. Even a timid vote for trump and Gop is a vote to continue these policies.

They will still both vote GOP but it is good knowing they are not in a total bubble.

Maybe. But if they still vote for these sick policies, it doesn't really matter that they aren't totally blind.

Is that the ice cream those women refer to being integrated?
