My daughter and son in law (sil) are middle of the road, maybe even conservative leaning. But they hate Trump, especially my aeronautical engineer sil, hate hate HATES him with a passion. We had such a big fight about it once (he'd been drinking and wouldn't drop it) that I have to refuse to even discuss politics with him at all.
They're staying with me right now while they look for a house. Tonight we all took our dogs outside before bed and he walked over and stood beside me. Looking around the yard, he quietly (sadly?) said "I find myself missing Trump". I was stunned and said nothing. He turned and walked slowly into the house.
I.......I can't EVEN.
He's obviously trying to rebuild a bridge. It's easy to say "thank you for saying that." Because obviously he didn't have to, and it's how things start to get better. It's hard to get the right words at the right moment, but perhaps another moment will present itself. What a nice thing to happen. Thanks for sharing it.
