12. I haven't seen any criticisms or doubt

But I’ve noticed a very odd silence.

I’m trying to think how to call them out on their silence.

Most of the people I know who voted for him, did so because they have always voted republican. I get the feeling they are embarrassed. I base this on the fact that they have always talked politics and now they are quiet. Their Facebook pages show pics of grandkids and pets now, without a word about the disaster in the wh. They are even silent about Congress.

One caveat, I severed ties with any who were rabid T Rump supporters, and sadly, that includes my sister in law who was married to my late brother.
