I haven't seen my oldest son for 7 years, but 2 years ago his wife got us texting again. So, for 2 years we've been texting, sharing photo's of the Great Grandkids and other family, but as soon as the election was over he relentlessly started texting everything pro-trump, how they are going to get revenge, things from Breitbart and other crazy MAGA, he even sent me the classic Hand Maiden picture saying he's having his wife wear that now. The election wasn't shock enough, he had to make it much, much worse. I had to block his texts.
