When do we get to say We Told You So. [View all]

So many of us are still holding our tongues.
In the name of going along to get along, we still remain publicaly quiet 🤫 on Trump.
We don’t want to damage family, work, school, relationships.
So, we avoid any talk of politics with those we know voted for and still support him.

But, I’ve got to say that they I am getting very close to my...I told you so moment.
We deserve that.
We were right.
We warned everyone even since the GOP primaries that this was a very sick corrupt person.
And we couldn’t understand how people that we loved and admired couldn’t or wouldn’t see it.

But, I’m getting very curious now.
They have to be privately wondering if they made a big mistake.
I’m not talking about the hard core racists and sexists.
I’m talking about your otherwise sane sister-in-law or uncle or cousin.
But, I’m still going to hold off at Christmas.
UNLESS - they bring Trump up - and HOPEFULLY express just a little regret.

If so, I will report back what my response was to them.
Maybe it will be a tongue lashing or maybe just a hug 🤗.
Hopefully, others of you will report back any Trump regret moments that you experience.
