Last week people erupted into ridiculousness because Chair of the Willistown Supervisors and lifelong Republican Bob Lange, along with his wife, appeared in a commercial saying why they had made the personal choice and decision to vote for Kamala Harris.
The horrible things people have said are astounding in their ignorance. Some of the most amazingly ignorant comments have come from Willistown which isn’t a shocker.
It’s really simple: Bob Lange (and his wife) made a choice that he felt strongly about as an American. No one coerced him. Like everyone else I didn’t know about it until somebody slipped me the ad, and then I actually thought good for him for standing up for what he believes in —- if people cannot deal with a man who is an adult standing up for the courage of his convictions then they need to sit down and shut up basically.
And in Willistown they should be more concerned about what jerks some of them seem to be to the rational world. Yes I am talking about that article in Philadelphia Magazine.
Yes it’s time for a segue. You know I live for those.
And no, I didn’t know that article was coming out either, until it did. I will admit I was delighted and found it amusing that they referenced my blog and they’re welcome. However, they did get one thing wrong. I am actually the one who figured out where that nasty postcard for Wildflower Farm came from. As in where it was printed based on the postal permit on it- not who paid for it.
I wrote about Wildflower Farm back then because I felt like someone had to and the Heenans are the loveliest family.

I was also amused at the magazine’s choice of tour guide, but hey she needs to be big woman on campus with a rooster, right? Of course, that whole rooster issue and Willistown is just ridiculous and eventually they’re going to have to deal with it. The bottom line there is roosters don’t belong in regular old residential non farm neighborhoods. There’s not enough space. But maybe they should start with getting a better zoning officer? They always seem to pick the wrong ones.
Willistown gets messy. I used to think West Vincent was messy, but Willistown gets world champion domination messy. Which, bringing this back around again to what is happening to Bob Lange now, is not a surprise. And they do like to crucify him on occasion in Willistown, like they did over the whole sewer sale of it all. I bet some anti-sewer sale folks from back then are busy sucking up now, right?
Ok so yes, he’s going to vote for a Democrat, because the Republican Party is so polluted that even life-long actual Republicans, as in the party of Lincoln, can’t just say “We’ll just vote for Trump.”
What is at stake here is huge and Trump has not actually really done anything for anyone. The only one Trump is interested in is himself because he has a malignant narcissist and he has shown people since he emerged on the scene in the 70s that this is who and what he was. Nothing has ever changed about Donald Trump.
The Republican party is currently cochaired by his twat waffle daughter-in-law, so does that give you an idea of how far the party has fallen?
Do you think it was easy for Bob Lange or his wife to make this decision let alone make it public? But make the decision they did based on what was best for them.
Even Barry Dee who is Republican agreed with me on Friday on WCHE that no matter for whom people choose it is their right as an American and that is the beginning and end of the conversation except for one last word: Bob is from the socioeconomic playground that you would think wanted Donald Trump, but more and more of them do not. What goes on in Willistown of course is a completely different story because nobody knows how to behave most of the time anymore anyway.
If Bob Lange is not voting for Trump, maybe people around here might want to think about that. I was a lifelong Republican myself until 2016 when Trump became the nominee. And when he became the nominee, I realized as a woman with a brain, I could no longer be a Republican.
Actually, when I was on WCHE with Barry Dee on Friday and I ended my segment with a simple thought: I believe it is incumbent upon the leaders of the Democrats in Chester County and the Republicans to step forward and tell people to put an end to this nonsense of harassing and bullying people over who they are choosing to vote for. We all know they won’t have the balls to do that though.
People have a right to vote for whomever they are comfortable with. It’s personal choice, not lock step like a dictator told you to.
I will also note that Barry Dee on Friday told the story of a Republican business owner in West Vincent who put a Trump sign up at his business, and he started getting harassed and threatened by Democrats. So freaks exist on both sides and everyone needs to STOP letting the freaks speak for ANY of us.
Also for the record, I’m not and never will be in Bob Lange’s inner circle. But I have a brain, so this isn’t so hard to figure out. Move on, people.
Part of our inalienable rights is not only the first amendment right to our opinion like this blog post. For example, we are also entitled to vote for whom we feel most comfortable voting for.
If we are currently living in a world, where people can’t safely express for whom they choose to cast their vote for, then how can we say this is the United States of America in the first place? Chew on that for a while.
Just vote like Ruth sent you and it will be good. Kidding, but it is the truth.
