Helen Halpin @profhelen.bsky.social · 08/07/2025I was in France last week. I didn’t feel “disliked.” People were curious about my views, but when they learned I hadn’t voted for/don’t support TFG, they were relieved. I had many good conversations. I lived in France for 10 years and worked at the Sorbonne for 3. It’s our government they dislike. 051

I’m glad some folks admit voting for Trump was a mistake, but if that doesn’t come with “I should’ve voted for Kamala Harris,” it’s not complete. We don’t need more non-voters.
