I say that's the reason I haven't been out in the world since then. Truth is, I don't want to be around any of these stupid rednecks. I live in an area that no doubt went hand in glove for trump. Retired military officers - colonels and above. They have money and want to keep it... that's all I've ever heard from them on most subjects. No problem they're double and triple dipping; they're entitled to that, they think. But medicare? Ha! They have TriCare and will go on and on about how much better it is. I honestly don't trust myself, even today, to be civil in their presence. I have two friends who are "libertarians" (yea, right)... no about of conversations amongst all of us can change their attitudes. I suspect they voted from trump. I can't bring myself to initiate conversation with either one. Other than that, one in particular I couldn't love more if he was my brother... which makes it hurt all the more to me.
