My mil will be 89 this week they all voted for Trump My wife and I and our kids voted for Hillary.

My family were die hard Dems. My mom and dad are dead now, as well as my little brother.

Mom and Dad would have loved it here. They both grew up in the Great Depression. My wife and I are both disabled and are having to downsize fast. We are going to have to find somewhere cheaper to live and will probably move to Arkansas to be near my youngest daughter and her family.

Amazingly enough, this probably won't change a lot of them. I think many of them seriously think it was Obama's fault. They still listen to FUX and believe in their "hearts" that Trump is being mistreated. If everyone would just get out of the way and the press would stop reporting on what Trump is doing so that he could do it all in the dark we would all be ok

Makes me want to vomit.
