He was a terrible Mayor. He ruined the streets and the police hated him!"

She repeated the VILE about him over and over.

Yes. He came through my line at
Home Goods. And I told him I would like it if HE would run for President. But he was too young. A year before he ran..
"Just wait till Jan 6! You'll see!"
I had come there for Christmas with my Brother.

Yes, this is what we are dealing with.
It's not as easy as it sounds when we are told to "talk to family and try to change their minds" How in the world do Pete & Chasten have words and threats thrown at them, and still go forward?
Thanks so much for letting me vent!
