re: #33 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
I have allies. I have you guys, and a few college friends who were never on the dark side that have welcomed me into the enlightenment fold. Itβs just tough because I am still trying to walk the tightrope between standing up for goodness and decency, and not getting disowned by my family.
On this visit to the States, I have been somewhat surprised that the most conservative members of my family are not diehard Trumpers, though they might have voted for him. My son and daughter are Dems, as is the younger stepson. But the older stepson was a Trump supporter, whose enthusiasm for the Great Orange Turd has waned considerably. Heβs not turned to the Other Side yet, though. My older cousins are also anti-Trump, despite being button-down businessmen in retirement.
So, I am blessed with a sane family. I feel for those who are not so blessed.
