I feel kind of bad today because I ranted to my 91 year old father (a proud veteran of the Korean War) that our country---our democracy---is in deep trouble and that we are living through horrific times that I fear might not end well. He and my mom detest Trump but Dad is a sunny, optimistic person (Might be why he is still quite self sufficient, just passed his drivers license test, etc.) He feels that good will win out and Trump and the Repugs will get theirs in the end. I hope I didn't over do it with my rant and cause him even more upset about what is going on. Before I left, Dad, Mom and I all flipped the bird at Trump speaking on TV. My mother, always the gracious lady, never swore or gave the finger to anyone for 89 years...but she makes an exception for Trump.
