18. Hmm. I had 3 grandparents born in America.
Wed Jun 3, 2026, 11:37 PM
Yesterday

One was born in Germany and came here with her parents and siblings when she was 4 years old. But since she came from the same country as 2 of the orange snowflake's grandparents, maybe that makes me American enough to vote. One grandparent made it just under the wire. He was born here two weeks after his parents arrived.

But my other two grandparents trace back to colonial MA and CT, with Revolutionary War vets among their ancestors, so maybe that gives me extra American points? In fact, those two also trace back to Indigenous people already here when Europeans arrived. Can't get much more American than that.

But I would never vote for the orange snowfkake and I am sure that none of my grandparents would have either.
