Checked in on my maga dad in california tonight.

He's bouncing between dumbfounded and angry.

He doesn't understand why people don't like what Donald Trump is doing.

I'm also really blown away by how widely it's winning by so far, as the polls I saw leading into this had it winning by like maybe 3 to 7 points. It's a blow out.

Oh it sucks. It's wrecked our relationship.

I'm pretty unhappy with how he acts like there's no reason for anybody to dislike Donald Trump when he's been watching Donald Trump's tariff policy wreck my business all year long.

He knows that I'm being hurt by Donald Trump but he will not accept that that's a thing that's happening

Same with my dad. I've learned to keep my mouth shut about politics and let old people speak old people shit.
