First off, my stepfather hates Trump second only to Hitler. His words. He and my mom rushed out and got both jabs as soon as they were available. I tried to convince her to wait on the vax but she would hear nothing of it.
Today, mom and I went to brunch and she asked why I was still not getting the jab. Well...I explained the reasons and showed her a few of the websites and articles you’d expect. Halfway through my explanation she started to panic and got a little tearful and started looking things up on her own phone. It’s heartbreaking. I dropped her off at her house and I can only imagine the conversation going on with my stepfather.
My in-laws quietly converted over during Obama's second term. Now they are awake, but dont believe anything can be done about it. My brother-in-law (wife's sister's husband) is a trumpet, but he believes we're doomed. I tried some reassurances, but its no use for them. We're playing card games today, trying to ignore politics. Good short break for me, but wish I could offer concrete evidence that if the audit goes well, de-certification is legal and possible, not just a "so they cheated, so what? You cant change it now." ?
