So last night, I was taking with a friend who is Trump supporter!

The same friend who hung up on me a month ago! He has changed his tune and in a fast way! He thinks that with all the witnesses that Mueller has, Trump is in deep trouble. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I asked what made change his mind? He said that would never support anyone who lies & tries to cover up the obvious! I said I am confused & asked you didn't see this in the very beginning? Now, this is the answered of all time from him! He actually said that he thought Trump was going to be different and honest! I didn't laugh at him this time! But I wanted to! I said to him, glad you changed your mind on Trump! Now, we can have sensible conversations again! So, what he starts about next? The Dems are coming for our guns! I guess you can't win them all?!?!

After the election: Trumpy will change everything and drain the swamp!

When all the scandals started hitting: We must give Trumpy a chance to fix everything and drain the swamp!

Now: Oh, I don't want to talk about politics, I just get so mad. They're all the same!

4. Probably similar to the stages of grief, and related.

Most are still in denial, but I believe I've seen a number in an anger stage. Aimed at us, of course.

The stage I want to see is the one that followed the culmination of far right disgrace after the Scopes trial, retreat from politics, but I think their handlers would fight losing these voters with all they have.

My reply would be, "no, the people are coming for military grade hardware. The dems just agree with the majority of citizens on this issue."

properly process reality. But I'm glad you're able to giggle with each other. Until a real topic comes up again at least

10. What I suspect your friend has NOT changed his mind about is

his belief that Democrats are crooks, that they the bullshit Republicans preach about family values (despite how many of them are caught cheating on their wives), that this is a Christian nation and we'd be better off with school prayer and mandated church attended. Oh, and no abortion ever no matter what. And so on and so forth. He's simply finally realized that Trump isn't the guy who will actually do those things.
