These folks won't change. But I do believe they will slither away into hiding like before. Their kids will change. the future generations will change. But a big section of the old guard will not. They will hide their feelings while talking to you, but when they gather or think it"s safe to speak their mind they will.

What will happen is: it will diminish. It already is. But the old guard will always vote the way they do, they will not give up their gas guzzlers, they will deny science, they will not believe in a woman's right to their own body; they will not wear masks; and they believe many are beneath them. They only feel safety in numbers like themselves. Today is mourning day for them, a heartfelt sad day. Welcome to the world we lived for 4 years.

They will also roll up those Dump flags, just like I took down my huge Gore signs. With big, woeful sighs I did. The nation was devastated back then, and like now for the Dumpster people. But they will not change anymore than our forward agenda will not change.

But they will slither off, diminished in power.

PS: thanks for posting DixiechickenI, I think the photo of the big Dump flags on the boats will be a relic quite soon.
