I often post on here 1 at a time when people say we can't unTrump his backers.

here is a personal experience. I have an old dear friend who became the guy my uncle Bob told me about. Uncle Bob once told me the problem, is Unions have made it so good for people they started thinking they were Republicans. My friend who lives in Florida just north of the villages had become way too far right wing for my comfort. Several years ago he sent me a picture of him shaking hands with Huckabee at a book signing. I wrote and told him he sure had some questionable friends. Several months later I had a call from him on my answering machine. I told my wife I just don't know what to say to him I still love him but I just can't countenance some shit. He made a couple more calls which I also didn't return. After the last one my wife said you have to call him. I called and simply told him I've avoided calling you back, because I just didn't know what I was gonna say. I then said I just can't believe you'd turn against working people and support somebody that hates them. I would never unfriend him and I'd get right wing talking points etc. I always fired back with the truth. His brother has continued to follow me and often likes stuff I post.

lo and behold today I get a friend request from his wife on her personal account. I of course accept. Next thing I repost is the medical workers in PPEs with the don't fucking vote for Republican picture. Both she and my friends brother give it a like. like I've been saying don't give up we win one at a time.
