This Grandma Joined Twitter Specifically to Tweet About How Much She Dislikes Trump
There is a woman out there somewhere (in Florida) named Suzanne Carpenter who is 71 years old, has a grandchild she adores, and really, really, really doesn’t like Donald Trump. We know this because when #NeverTrump was trending on Twitter, she joined the microblogging site just to contribute her own message.
As it turns out, quite a few people were interested in her message. As of this moment, it has 48,000 retweets and 48,000 likes.

It is from Jason and Nicole Owens, who appear to be the parents of Carpenter’s grandson. Her enlisting in the #NeverTrump army might have been at their suggestion, given how technologically savvy their YouTube channel indicates they are.
Since joining the site two weeks ago, Carpenter has been given a warm welcome and has been getting digital privacy advice from long-time users like this:
