Your comments are very sound. One can not only lose your friends, how about you son and grandson. My son married a progressive & she has, unfortunately, driven my son and I apart. They are keeping my grandson - who I have watched from birth - away from me. She got a promotion & an increase in salary & no longer needs financial help (which we have provided for five year) and can now afford a babysitter (we have always been the sitter). She does not want HER child to be around conservatives who might indoctrinate HER son.  My grandson is 2.  So goes the way of progressives.  I suspect if President Trump does not get reelected - we may be herded into camps.  Lets feel secure the Plan will work & the US & World will come back to some degree of normality.  We are going to sue for Grandparent visitation, She can see us in court - we still have more money than she does & she will have to hire an attorney & explain to the judge why she no longer wants to allow us to see our grandchild. Thankfully, our county is conservative & is very pro Grandparents - especially those who have been their for their grandchild from before birth. We bought all the baby furniture, plus replaced their bedroom furniture.
