My Trump voting sister has admitted the error of her ways

I had a feeling she would come around- I let her know how I felt at the time but didn't beat her up about it. The deplorables comment was what pushed her over the line. She is not college educated and although intelligent, she tends to grab onto conspiracy theories. She represents the group of people that are not really Trumpsters but they just wanted to shake things up. If we can get them back we can hold Trump under 40% and take back the White House.

crashed the stock market or blew up the world. Even then, a lot of Trumpsters will blame it on Obama.

Hopefully a trend. Thanks for sharing this. Trump's collusion with Russia to steal the election HAS to be costing some of Trump's support - already a shrinking minority!

Of some people coming out of the trance they were in. Little by little and drop by drop. These people had a lot of themselves invested in him. They will come out of it eventually and they will either be angry and give up on politics, or be angry and get involved. I fight against just out and out hate for them and trying to understand every day. My only defense is to just stay away from them.
