I cannot loathe or detest all tRump voters because I have several friends who voted for him . . . twice. It was simply “I am a Republican, and I always vote straight ticket”. It is legacy, apathy and lack of interest in current events that led them to vote that way. Some of them are now embarrassed and regretful.

That kind of acquiescence to Trump despite his obvious disqualifying characteristics as well as support for Trump based on his willingness to bully others and to elevate self interest above the common good I find to be despicable.

I hope those friends have learned their lesson! We need them to vote blue.

The loathing is well justified. I loathe even my own father, although of course I have to love him as well.

That is close to how I feel for my son. Not him. His beliefs and how he got that way.

Wonder how many of us in this group of followers would privately vow to never vote for anyone but a Democratic candidate? My motto is Never a Republican again will I vote. Of course, my lifetime pledge is only worth 5 or so years.
