Summary

I sat down with a dear friend & work colleague of mine who told me the story of how her brother went down the Trump rabbit hole, how it impacted her relationship with him so much that when he suddenly died of a heart attack a few weeks ago, she and her mother were not allowed to even attend his funeral. A story we all, to varying degrees, can relate to in this Trump era.
