10. I had a sad exchange with a cousin who was like a brother to me when we were young.

He's a repub & voted for Trump, twice. I think he, & most people he knows, would describe him as a moderate. I asked if he believed the election was stolen & he skirted around answering, but then said, yes, there were just too many irregularities to not believe there was fraud. I reminded him of the multiple lawsuits where no fraud could be proven, & his comment was that if the courts had only ruled in Trump's favor he would be president. WTF? This is a college educated man who worked in finance his entire career & he's spouting illogical babble like this. I could not believe my ears.

IMO, even the moderate repubs are lost. Only the never Trumpers can be counted on to fight this authoritarian/supremacist scourge with us.
