I have a very good friend who voted for Trump in 2016. I had talked to her about him being a bad choice; but, she just could not stomach Hillary. She saw Trump as the lesser of two evils.

For several reasons, not related to politics we were not able to visit very often and then Covid really put a damper on things. Her son and DIL were Trump fans and didn't believe in masks, being careful health wise, etc. She then moved out of state to be closer to her family that had already moved.

About a year or so ago she came back and she stayed with me for about 2 weeks. We did a lot of "catching up" and she had nothing good to say about Trump. Her son and DIL were still Trump fans and she was constantly trying to tell them and other family members that he was "NO GOOD". She told me that it seemed to be working, she has seen some cracks in the façade that they have believed in.

I did not tell her "I told you so". She already knew and I could see no point in rubbing it in. The people whose illusions about Trump have been busted need someplace to go. I think they may well be hesitant, even if they have changed their minds, to break with their friends and family. I suspect that there are many silent objectors to Trump and I would hope that they can find a place with us.
