Another local trump anecdote, not earth-shattering, but a nugget of hope

I know someone who used to spout some of the faux snooze jibberish and hated HRC, etc. We're in a blue state so it didn't matter.

Anyway, I said something about the shutdown today and she unleashed a torrent of frump hate, bile and loathing. Too little too late, I know.

This person isn't smart enough to convince anyone else of anything, or remember this the next time they trot out another gop grifter, but if she was reached, maybe there is hope for us all....

The good news is she's really, really angry at the gangster. Next time I'll see if she can broaden that to the entire party....

In Italy, many were at one time in love with Mussolini. But check out the pictures of the party they later threw for him in Milan near the end of the war.

She probably used to spew the hate, bile and loathing at HRC, President Obama, and Dems in general.

Directing it now at the orange turd is definitely progress.

The rising floodwaters of failure, criminality and chaos emanating from this maladministration are starting to get the attention of even the deplorables.
