It kills me that I suspect we're renting a house from a Trump supporting Republican.

I've found I don't want to have anything to do with people who either actively supported Trump or still voted for
him because they are Republicans and support whoever the party nominates.

The guy is dangerous. He and his crony capitalists are destroying our government. Trump himself won't
care if millions of people are killed when he starts lobbing nukes at another country, just because he can, to show
off what a big man he is.

And the judiciary? OMG. The courts will be packed for a generation or more with these right wing nutjobs.

I personally think the country is lost for the rest of my lifetime and probably longer. The only thing left is to hope...
