This comment really speaks to me. My uber-Catholic, educated mom is die hard Trumper. I lived in Nicaragua. Would she have thrown her lot in with Somoza regime to maintain her social standing? Would she have fought as a Sandinista if she thought it would mean a payout? Would she have joined the contras? I don't know. After this I feel like she could rationalize anything.

Exactly! You thought there were principles, you thought there was reason and common sense. And now you don't know what's up for grabs.
