      He has some hold over people and I’m serious. I’m not about policing my families thoughts and ideas but even if I were there the entire time to keep things in perspective there’s probably little I could have done.

      They are still family but in the coming end times I’ll seriously reconsider ever trusting them with anything big or small.

        I don’t believe that, I think that the same people who froth at the mouth over supporting Trump were always shitheads they just kept it under wraps. Trump gives them an excuse, he doesn’t control them. As evidenced by what happened on Jan. 6th.
