17. When I received their standard welcoming email

after signing up I sent them a response telling them Trump was like an acid that dissolves away people's outer facades to reveal their true inner nature...and it's not always pretty what gets revealed. I've lost a few old friends and now have some estranged family members who have embraced Trumpism and I'm sure many others here have as well.

During the Dubya and Obama years I probably despised 99% of all Republicans but in the last few years I've come to realize that there are some truly good Republicans who are decent people at heart but simply disagree on policies that best advance America which is what true patriots want on either side of the aisle. I've even come to respect and admire a few like Schmidt and Wilson for their honesty and their mutual hatred of Drumpf and his minions.

Maybe one day we can get back to having sane debates with these folks about which policies would best benefit a majority of Americans but that day is nowhere in sight for the time being. One step at a time and step one is to obliterate Trump and his followers. Anybody who can help make that happen is AOK in my book.
