Anyone else have MAGA friends who are flipping?

I found out from my Democratic cousin that two of her sisters in Michigan will not be voting for Trump a third time because of the abortion issue. You would think that it would be that Obama saved the auto industry and Biden and Harris are the most pro-union administration in decades, but it’s the abortion issue that won them back.
We are Catholic so I always assumed that my Republican cousins voted Republican because they were anti-choice. Nope, just pro-choice idiots who voted against their own economic interests for absolutely no reason.
Anyway, my family are very hard headed people. If they are flipping, this could be a very, very good sign in Michigan.

Anyone else with cheerful anecdotes? It’s all I have until November.

But she’s also a retired teacher and she really likes Tim. Score one for our side.

Or, rather, anyone who is MAGA isn't -- or is no longer -- my friend.

He's voting for Harris/Walz.

I'll add I think he's a bit of a pompous ass but his vote for Harris/Walz will count, nonetheless.
