What happens after trump is gone... and the country gets its sanity back?

Do you just sit across the Thanksgiving table (if that ever happens again) and talk about the weather?.... knowing what you know about them?

90% of Republicans approve of trump.. all the polls show.

How can we ever let that kind of racism and sick nationalism and anti-scientific, anti-reason thinking back into our lives.

Easy for me to talk. I don't have any of those people anymore. Gone long since.

For those of you still hanging in with MAGA friends and relations... what's your plan?
