      I definitely remember the whole “We’re gonna burn this down if Trump was elected” momentum quickly turn to “We meant figuratively” and then “That means voting!”

      There’s a big reason why I have grown distant from some of my friends and family and it’s basically that I know I can’t trust them anymore

      More interested in keeping the peace than anything else

        I’d felt something similar for a while and I couldn’t put my finger on it. They all claimed to see the fascist rot and then they stuffed the genie right back into the bottle. You’re right, the trust is just gone.
