I’m in the same boat, Wilma, but I do have two kids & grandchildren. Thankfully, both my kids are democrats who’ve become politically active. I don’t know what I’d do if they, or their spouses, were blind to reality. My daughter’s MIL is a trumper. My daughter is coming close hating her. She seems

My cousin, who is like a brother, went Trumpster. We grew up together, and have a shared history. We never ever discuss anything related to politics. He actually cares about my well-being, so there's that.

That must be hard for you. I’m glad he hasn’t lost all his humanity.

Yes, him and his wife moved to Hilton Head 7 years ago and want to move back. Although her sister lives here as well as his brother, they prefer to stay with me during the transition. They are so much fun to be with, as long as I ignore the ugliness of their political ideology.

It’s hard to square fun-loving people with support of trump. Fox watchers I assume.

Yes, I have a TV in the guest room, they can close the door. They are such kind and caring people, I just don't know what happened to them.

The brainwashing works. They’re probably being bathed in hatred for others. The right has always known it works.

to relish the state of the country. My daughter’s coming closer and closer to confrontation. Fortunately, her husband is realistic about his mother’s ideas. If he wasn’t, I hate to consider what their life would be like.

So sorry to hear you're dealing with that as well, it's hard to find anyone that isn't dealing with the trauma of discovering how many people hate all the things we cherish, "The truth, facts, common sense, decency & LIVE AND LET LIVE". It's so depressing, and when they attack liberals... 😒🤨🙄😳

Being here on Bluesky helps so much. There are so many smart, kind people here. In 2016 after the 1st nightmare election, I was invited to a secret, invitation-only group of trump haters on FB. It got me through the early months, until FB started punishing people for first-amendment speech. I feel

the same kind of support from line-minded people here. In 2016 I was told I was overreacting on FB. Here, no one thinks we’re not in real trouble. I hope we can parlay Bluesky into election turnout.

Thank goodness we have BlueSky.. I have said more than once, that the lovely people I've met through this social media thingy, have renewed my faith in humanity. And you've replaced those people who are hopelessly lost to the Kult. . . willfully, hopelessly lost.

I agree completely. I hope it remains so.
