My wife's uncle died and we came to northwest ohio (about an hour west of Toledo) to go to the various services. Because of work obligations, I only attended the viewing and not the funeral, graveside, and luncheon at the VFW.
My wife's uncle in law said he voted for Trump because he was the "lesser of two evils" but wasn't happy with what was happening.
So disappointed in her that she didn't say what I always say to that..."really. He stole so much money from a charity, he isn't legally allowed to be involved one anymore. He stole so much from a school, he isn't legally allowed to anymore. He has refused to pay so many times. He has been sued by literally thousands of contractors. Even without paying his contractors he still went bankrupt with casinos multiple times. He committed so much real estate and tax fraud, that his company is banned from selling real estate. He was found by a jury of his peers to be a sexual assaulter and the only reason that they could not call it rape was that in that state rape must be forcible use of a penis and they weren't certain whether it was a finger or a penis. Another jury of his peers found that he maliciously lied about his assault victim repeatedly and said he had to pay her almost $90 million in damages. He committed espionage by taking top secret documents about how to attack Iran and showed them to an Australian billionaire to try to impress him. He ordered people to destroy evidence of his espionage.
Now you please lust whatever is more evil that a decorated attorney general, prosecutor, and senator without a single corruption case has done.

So the only evil thing she's done is to be an uppity black woman.
She hates it when I do that only got through all of it once. Usually the racists walk away partially thru his list of real evil because they have nothing to stand on.
Did have one racist asshat say "if they could go after trump for what he did. They could go after any of us "
I literally said "if course you're right. Who standing here didn't have sex with a pornstar while our wife was nursing our new son and then pay her off to stay silent with company money.
She wants to keep peace
I want them all to know that they can't hide like they have pillowcases with eyeholes any more.

Good on you!
Just be careful out there.
