Hey Steve, you stole my thunder! (Aaah, but that's OK!)

The night before Inauguration Day, I ran across "Trump regrets", a post-it board absolutely chock full of former Trump supporters who either had serious misgivings about the man, or who were absolutely enraged given the bald-faced lies served up by Trump.  Some were rather silly, but many others were truly tragic.  I went to bed thinking some of these thoughts need to be put on a blog.  But, ack, Steve stole my thunder!  As Kyle would have said, you bastard!

But seriously, Steve, his partner in the film Kristi, myself, and many others have given serious thought to this subject.  Here is his 30-minute thought on the subject. Enjoy.
