    My wife’s mother told her not to worry about abortion being banned because “people won’t let that happen”. Umm. Except it already has.

      There was a brief record scratch moment when the abortion ban stuff happened, but the trumpers I know got right back on the bandwagon and are now talking “white replacement theory.”

          Sure has. It’s pretty easy for Nazi talking points to go mainstream when the richest person in the country, who also controls a social media platform, is a Nazi. And the ex-president is a Nazi.

          This sort of thing shouldn’t be surprising anymore.

      “I don’t need to vote. People will never let Trump get elected.” Wanna bet she will never change her mind on this stance either? Like, “Yes, Trump got elected once, but people won’t let him get elected again, so I don’t need to vote.” Ugh, I am getting angry at this straw man of your wife’s mother now.
