Tom Tomorrow on what we're up against:

1. Someone said: we sent a man to the moon decades ago, why aren't they all up there by now?

[underpants]

2. I'm be already forgotten this entire conversation

Spot on

[Mr.WeRP]

3. After reading the first panel, the first thing that comes to mind

Is all our family members who are these fucking people. My wife’s parents and all of our collective siblings are Trump supporters and will be voting for Trump. They think we are crazy. I hate this reality.

[Beartracks]

4. I can't figure out if they regard Trump's term as a time of enlightenment and glory because...

... that's how they actually remember it, or because they DON'T remember it but the media has has been telling them that fable.

5. For a lot of them it's just that they are paying more for groceries and gas

Those things were a little cheaper under Trump and they think he somehow made it that way.

They don't know how the economy works, and they don't know actual history, and can't see how democracies have fallen in the past. Hitler promised a better economy too.

8. Just curious but do you push back with them? I have some Trumpies in our family and I usually have a rule

Don’t start No shit, and there won’t be No shit. If they say anything egregious I will speak up.
It keeps us all on a have fun basis and ask about the kids.

[Mr.WeRP]

10. Similar policy here but I hate it

When they do start shit (MiL in particular seems to enjoy doing this), I ask calm rational questions like the guys do on The Good Liars. When this happens, everyone but the MiL knows what is about to happen, even the other Trumpers in the family and it gets quite awkward in a hurry.

6. The halcyon time four years ago

Wiping our asses with coffee filters, nurses wearing garbage bags, refrigerator trucks being used as morgues. I’m nostalgic.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

9. The best times ever

Rushing into the store when no one was there, body counts on TV, staying inside my bubble

Only good thing is I met my wife just as it was all starting.

[progressoid]

7. That is so depressingly accurate.
