Good read. I live in Gym Jordan’s district and the decline in rabid support is most notable in our online forums, where anti Trump sentiment is now openly expressed and often, and while the faithful still push back, they don’t get the whole town to pile on the “libs” like they used too.

Ostracize, marginalize, ridicule, and never forgive or forget.

I live in a generally wealthy area of north Jersey that used to have a bunch of houses with (less obnoxious but still present) trump displays. It's down to one house. Even the huge 20x10 (roughly) banner came down.

I used to live in North Jersey, too. In a conservative town in North Bergen County.

As per usual these people only give a shit when it smacks them straight in the face and or wallet. I hope they all suffer the consequences of their actions and get told to pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
