My aunt and uncle are suit and tie establishment republicans that hated Trump in the primaries. When he won, he was their guy anyway. They were all aboard the MAGA train until Comey got fired. Now we're not allowed to discuss politics at gatherings :thunk:

Maybe he thinks someone else is Rex and actually hates the real Rex.

There might be a guy wearing a T-rex suit in the white house who got trapped their on halloween. Trump thinks that said T-Rex is a valuable member of the team and won't let him leave.

My dad and I never had the talk about banning politics at the table, we just figured it out independently since we're on opposite ends of the spectrum. Nobody brings it up and we have happy holidays.

I’m glad that if anything my in-laws are going to talk about anarchist cookbook recipes.

On my side, some relatives talk about how it’s “dark outside” when in a city with any black people.

I have an evangelical aunt and uncle that went full on for Trump. Same uncle also said it was "bananas" that I stayed in college full time instead of dropping out to get a full time job to support my mom while she was in rehab. Told my mom that college isn't for everyone (he wasn't making the trades argument, he's just a rich rear end in a top hat) and I'd be better off that way.

My mom is still confused as to why I didn't invite them to my wedding.

Almost all the Trump supporters I know are Marines and cops and they want Daddy Trump to put the reporters in jail and finally let the cops do what needs to be done, and buddy up to the greatest coolest man on Earth Vladimir Putin, so that's probably why I have a darker view on the R base than most.

The rest of the republicans I know are educated coastal professionals who really wish they hitched their ride with Clintonian centrism when they had the chance. I'm sure some of them are closet Trump supporters but most of them are nonvoters now.

He's still a big fan of O'Reiley, and he thinks sexual harassment is a scam.

My fiance's dad is like this. "Ask yourself why they are saying all these things now, it's all about money! That's the only reason they're doing this!"

As a dude that grew up with a single mom, I know and saw enough of the dumb poo poo she went through working lovely jobs with even shittier people to say that argument is horse poo poo, and if they want to get paid for the bullshit they put up with, well they more than loving earned it.

Most normal Republicans have pretty much written Trump off as a loss, other than his ability to sign their legislation. They may publicly try to defend him, privately they'll admit that he's a useless turd.

I'll still put money on most if not all of them voting straight ticket republican for the rest of their lives, even if Trump is the nominee again.

Me too, but it's less that I'm voting for Democrats, I'm voting against Republicans. So I guess I'm the same problem but in the other direction. It's that there aren't very many lovely Dems where I vote, and there are a lot of lovely Republicans.

Weird. In Florida, when you complain about “those loving Canadians only left me six percent” it’s because they’re actually (generally French-) Canadian.

I never knew that was a multi-purpose slur!

Correction to earlier: ABC hosed up.

I was thinking there was the poo poo that Flynn pleaded out to in the transition, plus poo poo during the campaign. It's just poo poo during the transition, where the only potential broken law is the Logan Act, which is likely bullshit and nobody's ever been successfully prosecuted under it, since it's likely unconstitutional.

There's likely more somewhere else, but ABC hosed up. We're missing the good poo poo that Flynn is turning over.
