How do you know when the Trumpers are throwing in the towel?

In my case they are retreating to "both sides do it." I had Trumpers at my dinner table. There was just some small talk about politics. Rather than defending Trump's sedition, they just said, "both sides do it." and moved the discussion to another topic.

I think that they want to return from the wilderness, but don't want to apologize for the misery that they caused.

so I couldn't possibly give anything Covid related to my 86 year old mom. I am following the advice from doctors and scientists. CA is really bad and will only get worse after Christmas.

This is shocking to me. 😔 I cried half of the day because I was missing my family and people are out here still not taking this virus seriously.

Of both sides "doing it" and watch them squirm in their seat trying to answer that.

Having Trumpers at your dinner table is playing Russian Roulette with your life.
