      My daughter’s high school held a mock election today. Trump won 52-48. She is in stunned disbelief like I remember being in 2016. :(

        How big is the highschool? I know my old one would be Republican as I was a paria for saying we shouldn’t ban burning the American flag in protest.

          About 650 students. The school covers a good range of rural- to mid-density areas, maybe a little heavier on the rural side.

            Ahh ok that makes sense, I had mix of rural and suburban with about 2500 students but we are also close to an air force base.

        I liked the taste of toothpaste and I liked brushing my teeth. Having an unclean mouth is gross, and I thought that even as a child.

        I am autistic, though, which means my experience might not be typical.
