12. In my case, it really hasn't.

Oct 2018

The Trumpanzees in my life were were already out of the closet well before he came along. Fortunately, there are only a few of them, and I have known all along what they're like. The few borderline republicans in my life hate Trump. The rest, and vast majority of my relationships are among Democrats. So, for me, nothing has really changed. I live in the town where Lee Atwater grew up. He was the way he was for a reason, and things haven't really changed much here since the days when his beliefs were formed. I have known for 30 years what his ilk are like. (I REALLY need to get the fuck out of this shithole town...) It's "Same shit. Different day." for me.
