(15,697 posts)bitter about this that I may never recover. Hillary is and has always been a much bigger person than I.
I am literally excising anyone I know from my life - so-called friends AND family - who did this and who still has NOT regretted their choice. I know that it is I who am being "purist" about this. But these actions were simply unforgivable in the circumstances. This was NOT an election like any other.
I have never suffered fools gladly but until November 2016, I was comparatively more patient and reasonable. Trump's election theft - and it WAS theft - was just the final straw. These people ALL aided and abetted that crime. I don't have all that many years left and I refuse to allow ANY such deplorables to remain in my life. Fortunately, I am retired and generally live abroad, so I can do this a LOT more easily than most can.
There are a LOT of people who know me who previously would have been welcome to visit regardless of political differences. Many such did visit and thoroughly enjoyed their glimpse of what quality of life actually means. But among those, there are STILL some who voted for Trump or didn't vote at all or voted for a third party. If they are still trying to excuse that behavior in any way, shape or form, they are dead to me.
Such people are no longer welcome chez moi. Period. If any turn up on my doorstep, as has occasionally happened, they will not be welcomed. There is no longer ANY room at this inn.
