125. I'm not sure

What happens in the next two years will determine whether or not I can ever forgive MAGA because Trump can and probably will get even worse and do more damage to the country before it can be stopped/reversed. On second thought, probably not. I hope many of them wind up feeling like Nazis post-WW2.
