I'm feeling it personally. I love visiting NYC, Chicago, CA, other countries.

I'm supposed to go to an important family celebration at the in laws' in Alabama and I do not want to go. Before Trump this never would have bothered me. Now it does. A lot.

Meanwhile I'm sure my in-laws would have a panic attack at the thought of riding the NYC subway.

And I'm through trying to talk to them. I feel active dislike. Which is sad. I used to love them.
