US Thanksgiving brings the crowds out from WA. Tourists and property owners.
I have known the WA property owners since I arrived on the mountain years ago. They were in the majority in my social group.

We socialized and recreated together. The past four years during the Reign of Insanity I was shunned, excluded and basically treated like a leper. Apologies to lepers.

This year as if the past 4 years never happened there is a calm among these people. Sure I have met some Americans who have various degrees of TDS but they are strangers and the odd man out. I believe there is relief that the election is over and there was a clear mandate not a bitterly contested one. Could it be that deep down these people, all Dems, knew something was seriously wrong (no kidding) but couldn’t just put their finger on the problem. It was an embarrassment they likely do not want to dredge up.

The test would be inviting a few over to the house when GMG returns from the coast with her approval of course.

Is this the same experience others here are noticing?
