(8,026 posts)I saw what Republicans did for 4 years, & 74 million people voted for more of it. Then, I saw what they did on January 6. I'm done. I've had it with all 74 million who voted for Traitor Trump. They're all traitors in my mind.
I know several Republicans, many of my neighbors had Trump signs or flags. I used to view them (pre-2016) as basically decent people with different political views. Views that I strongly disagreed with, but our disagreements were based on political points of view, as opposed to, a desire to destroy our democracy & install a fascist ruler. That's not a "point of view," that's declaring war on our country. Now I view them all as enemies of the country that I hold dear. So yes, things are different now. Very different. I now look at a lot of people in a very different way than I did 5 years ago, & I'm not going to "get over" that. They have revealed themselves for who & what they are, & I will view them & treat them accordingly.
