A story - & I WILL try to keep it as brief as possible - my uncle & aunt told me that they were backing the Failed Republican Antichrist Wannabe. I felt depressed & even slightly ILL upon hearing this bit of news, like someone had taken a katana & disemboweled me. FFWD to 4 months after the " election " travesty. My uncle & aunt developed a case of voter's remorse. They didn't trust Biden overmuch, but they regretted backing Donald The Gross Trumpkin. The urge to laugh & yell " I Told You So ! " was overpowering, truly overpowering. How'm I doing for brevity ? Sanity & reason returned.

Thank you, Ally. I just wish that they'd had the change of heart BEFORE the ( Putin - rigged ) " election ". Better late than never, I guess. They can enter Valhalla or Olympus with clear consciousnesses. Or without worrying about being reincarnated as slime molds.
