Consider yourself lucky just to be able to observe this from afar and not have to contend with the awful fact of having close family members vote for and therefore enable this monster. I am as horrified as you are, but I have to ask myself things like, “Is is worth ruining my relationship with my parents/aunts/uncles/cousins because of their support of Trump?” I don’t know how I can even be related to these people.
As for 2024, Trump will probably fade after the election even if Cyrus Vance doesn’t throw him in jail, but if he does run again it could be a blessing in disguise as it will scramble the Republican field and hopefully create a lot of internal division and disunity in the party.
Twitter blanked everything following the trending topic “Four people stabbed in Washington DC amid clashes between Trump supporters and counter-protesters”
2 of the 4 stabbing victims are Police officers. CNN goes on to say, while the protest was mostly peaceful a few scuffles broke out. Scuffles meaning PB’s attacking random citizens minding their own buisness.
Pathetic the Police are not stomping these seditious goons into the pavement.
So…uh…did they have one guy write on each ass cheek, or did they pair up and do it? Is it a secret that the guy in the middle has “ME” on his butt? So many questions, but I want this slash fic to be accurate… or did Chuck Tingle cover this one?
Yeah, it’s a shitty situation to be in.
I’m in the same boat and sadly the answer ended up being yes. At some point I decided if they could keep their opinions to themselves, we might maintain general cordiality, but then they couldn’t keep it to themselves. I told them if they insisted on talking about that stuff around me I wasn’t going to be part of the conversations. It feels more like they thought it was worth ruining the relationship, so fuck ‘em.*
*not totally, if they really need help like food or home repairs and I can, I will help if they ask. I’m not a monster. But I’m done pretending we are “friends.”
