Some of my Republican family members have FINALLY seen the light!

I guess this is how much it took. (By this I mean Kavanaugh.) One said she'd never vote for a Republican again. She voted for Trump!

Only the women at this point though. The men are still with him.

Cheeto might end up doing more than anyone ever has to show up today's GOPee for what it's become.

They probably call you a liberal, thinking it's a bad word. To them it has a bad connotation. So call them illiberals. It's true. That's what they are. But they won't like it, not in the way they might think it's similar to liberal, but is just the opposite.

Google it.

Backsliding is easy; keep chatting with your family members, make sure the scales stay off their eyes. You know how sometimes something happens, and you notice it for the first time? Subsequently, it seems like it's happening all the time and you wonder how you missed it before. Make sure they keep noticing. You'll know your job is done when they're bringing you items discrediting Republicans that you haven't seen before.
