In 1953, Senator Joseph McCarthy's House Un-American Activities Committee unearthed a disturbing fact: Lucille Ball was a member of the Communist Party. This revelation came only two years into the I Love Lucy phenomenon that besotted Americans simply called "The Show." Now the future of The Show and Lucille Ball's hard-won career hung by a thread.

As it turns out, Lucy was no more Communist than you or I. As a young woman, she'd signed a Communist Party card to please her beloved grandfather who became a Communist after he lost his entire life's savings in a court battle after a freak accident left a neighbor child paralyzed. Still, this was enough for the FBI to keep a file on her.

Still, The Show must go on. Desi Arnaz handled the situation beautifully. In the first I Love Lucy episode taped after Lucy's Communist link hit the headlines, he introduced her to the studio audience as, "And the only thing red about her is her hair, and that isn't even real." Lucy ran out on stage and bowed, ran to the other side of the stage and bowed. There was thunderous applause and Americans love Lucy to this day.

So why did I tell you that story?

Because we all have family and friends who are voting the Biden/Harris ticket.

For Trump supporters, that is utterly unconscionable. Unthinkable. Illogical. Communist. Socialist. unAmerican. Bizarre. (Don't run out of adjectives, Dear!)

While I admit to purging my Facebook Friends List of vicious Trump haters I don't personally know, I kept all my friends who are loudly and proudly Biden/Harris supporters because I know them to be warm, kind, supportive, pleasant people in real life. Some of them have known me from infancy and were wonderful when my own family (Republicans all!) threatened to sue me for being the whistleblower who revealed decades of abuse within our family.

That leaves me in the same conundrum America felt about Lucille Ball's Communist connections.

I need to dig into the "why" behind the "wherefore" and try to understand my friends' reasoning to see if they're really, as M*A*S*H* 4077's Frank Burns would say, "Commie pinkos" or if they're about as Communist as Lucille Ball. This is me trying to respectfully figure out how the heck they can vote Biden/Harris.

Each election year, I pose the same question to my Democrat Facebook friends: "Please explain the pro reasons you're voting Democrat. No anti-Republican reasons. Only pro-Democrat reasons."

It's a sad statement on American politics when both sides of the aisle consider their votes less for their own party's candidate and more against the other party's ticket. All that changed for Republicans when Trump ran as a Republican.

Here are all five of the pro-Biden answers to this year's survey.

As far as I can tell, my friends who are voting for Biden/Harris are just as America-loving as I am. They use all the same words to support Biden that I use to support Trump: liberty, freedom, patriotism, America.

The only difference is that they believe the Mainstream Media as fervently as you and I disbelieve the Mainstream Media. Frankly, if we Conservatives believed the MSM, we'd believe "Orange man, bad" too.

If we're being honest, Donald Trump has been accused of (almost) as many horrible things as Biden. Everything from adultery to statutory rape, from tax fraud to using his office for monetary gain, from homophobia to racism. You and I don't believe a word of it because his actions prove the opposite...just as Biden supporters don't believe a word of the allegations against Joe, Hunter and Kamala either because...because...yeah, I got nothin'.

The only difference is the Conservative media we do believe has morals based on Judeo-Christian values and the Ten Commandments while, we believe, the Liberal media are atheists with no moral compass except winning, at all cost, by any means, fair or foul including bald faced lies. They can't all be sued for defamation!

Surprisingly to me, even Joe's blatant racism, plan to raise taxes, China and Ukraine connections and the revelations on Hunter Biden's laptop haven't changed anything for committed Biden/Harris supporters. In fact, it created  the martyr affect. Secret Biden/Harris supporters are now being loud and proud, putting up yard signs, declaring their allegiance on Facebook. Frankly, that takes courage as Hunter's pedophilia becomes known and Biden/Harris supporters become more and more of a minority. (I think they're nuts. Oops.)

Or maybe they vote the Democrat ticket, regardless of who's on it, for the same reason Lucy joined the Communist Party in name only. "Grandpa did and he'd roll in his grave if I vote Republican." Or because they're union or farmers. Or because they're frightened and  don't want to have to lie to their Liberal family. Or because they have a pet issue like, I dunno, welfare or abortion.

The wonderful thing about Americans is that we're all passionate about our beliefs and we're all Resolute Desk Jockeys. We're invested, we're informed and we're interested in our government. That's awesome!

All I hope is that you're sure you're being told the truth about your candidate. As the signs say: "F**k your feelings." This is about facts. Remember, we're not marrying the President! Just picking the Executive Branch of Government and Commander-In-Chief. "C'mon man!" I prefer the one who hasn't lost his marbles!

Donald Trump may be a lot of things but his record over the last four years backs up his words at each and every rally. He's telling the truth. He's a patriot. He serves for no pay. He's repeatedly demonstrated acceptance of every race, color, creed and sexual orientation. He loves America more than his own life. He does what he says he's going to do and we're all better off for it.
