We are fortunate in that all our relatives on the west coast are Ds. I have relatives in Indiana and Illinois and I doubt that they vote because they are constantly involved in some family drama. Earlier some of them have posted nonsense and I tried to explain to them that what they were posting was nonsense. The one R dip who lives across the street won't even speak to us unless we get too close to his property to tell him to cut the noise. We also have a neighbor, who while he has finally seen the light, likes to mansplain if I show even a smidgeon of hope. I do know how dire things are and all the awful things that may happen, but I refuse to speculate on what may actually happen with regard to death star.
I do believe that Trump followers are so enamored by him that, if indeed, as he stated before he got elected, he could shoot someone on the street and still get votes.
It is indeed. I haven't heard from my ex-classmate with regard to politics for a while, so I don't know if she is still supporting, good Christian that she is, death star. My next door neighbor, a former R county commissioner, has no use for the current R party, so it's possible for some to understand and I think that he now probably votes D as he has had D signs in his yard. But then he isn't a wing nut.
Michelle, it amazes me that people who claim to be "Christian" can wave their red caps in the air when Trump slanders opponents, uses vile and vulgar language, tries to incite violence, laughs at the cruel things his followers do in his name, and perpetuates lies.
I don't think these evangelists or "Christians" know a thing about Christ or his teachings. Trump certainly doesn't.
Part of it is years of voting R. Part of it is wanting abortion gone. Part of it is believing that their form of religion is best and supporting a theocracy. Part of it is deliberately remaining ignorant and even glorying in it. People really do believe that since the advent of the internet, they all can be experts and none of them do any kind of bias research. This person's daughter once told me to dig deeper citing a wing nut site. I did block the daughter after noting that I taught expository writing with an emphasis on evaluating sources.

Michele, It's a slippery slope we're on.

Morality and responsibility have flown the coop.
