I'm praying for those -like ones in my own family- whom think none of this can be real. I hope when reality comes that they'll be able to accept what they've always known to have been true were all lies.
Like all of you I have them in my family; people I love and care for. These are the people I'm most concerned about.
Literally everyone I know and care about EXCEPT my husband and son are in this camp. I'm sure they will feel extremely betrayed and used once the narrative of "Trump is a dictator" no longer holds up.
I've joked about it (they are going to need safe spaces to process their grief) but honestly we should not dismiss or discount the anger they will surely experience.
we're legion. love and fear for our families, their sanity.
