I'm terribly sorry. Trump nearly destroyed my relationship with my mother. A hard no-politics rule saved us.

I overheard two people talking outside a shop a couple years ago. The guy said how his brother wouldn't listen to his rhetoric. The brother apparently said, "I just came from a funeral of a friend who died of covid." The lunatic replied, "died with covid. Blah blah crazy shit." It made me so angry that I couldn't enjoy the fun thing that I attended a few minutes later. I'm very against violence and was appalled at my own thought that I would condone violence in that moment. It really fucked my head.
