This "thing" is bigger than we can really get our brains around.
Remember when
My Dad's obit (update) and a short story.
As I have had to go through a solid lifetime of accumulated papers, books, and stuff of my late father
I found out 2 things:
1) He had quit being a registered as republican about 12 years ago.
2) He not only voted for Obama and Hillary but was a financial supporter of Obama too.

Columbus's Chief retires/ As a trailblazer, Chief Jacobs is the first openly gay, woman police chief
https://myfox28columbus.com/news/local/columbus-police-honors-retiring-chief-kim-jacobs-with-walkout-procession-fridayAs a trailblazer, Chief Jacobs is the first openly gay, woman police chief in the division. She was also the first woman deputy chief and commander.
She joined CPD in 1979, and she first served as a patrol officer only a few years after Columbus began training women for that job.
Lieutenant Aimee Haley recognized the chief for paving the way.
"I've had the opportunity to be a police officer at CPD, not a female officer, just a police officer. Thank you for paving the way through the ranks for me and countless others," Haley said.
It must be really bad for Trump and company because he has gone twitter silent.
This might not be the end of Trump but the beginning of the end is clear to see.
Trump inaugural subpoena pertains to allegations of conspiracy against the U.S., false statements, mail &
wire fraud, money laundering, disclosure violations, & laws prohibiting contributions by foreign nations and
in the name of another person.
