No one in my orbit near or far talks about what is happening out loud. No one wants to change the vibe of the dinner or expose which 'side' your colleagues are on. In my orbit of the deep south US, there are no -and never were- MAGA hats or flags or the equivalent from progressives. I, who operates in a world of mostly reasonable people, haven't been a witness to an IRL discussion of politics since the election. It's taboo. And here is our demise. I'm complicit.
