Just saw a bit on MSNBC....after a few examples of in family fighting most agreed that families unity
is paramount and that politics should not be brought up during family gatherings or phone conversations..
I say to hell with that.. I'm sorry if my Mom and Dad were Trump supporters, I'd make sure everytime I meet with them. I'd let them know exactly what I feel about that sick man... I wouldn't abandon my family but I would not keep my mouth shut.
Its just too important..

(2,120 posts)... Dad and I loathe Trump, but we never discussed him at all with my Uncle - my Dad's brother. He simply saw our posts, decided we weren't worthy of remaining in contact with since we despise Trump, and defriended us. He went so far as to BLOCK his own brother on FB.
I really just have no other response than shaking my head.... Dad and I agreed to just "let him go." I don't want a family member in my life if they genuinely believe Trump is more important than family.
Meanwhile I've never defriended a Trump supporter either on social media or real life. Because I refuse to allow Trump to ruin relationships with people I care about. On the flip side, said Trump supporters in my life know not to discuss politics with me and, remarkably, adhere to that.

(36,457 posts)Are you a bigot, afraid of change, or are you inclusive, & open to diversity? The only reason I see why anyone would still support Trump is that they are a bigot. Fuck them.
Your words are so true about twitler supporters. Personally I would be careful around them because of their poor judgement in supporting twitler.

(16,369 posts)She popped off on Facebook about a post I made honoring President Obama. The third time she had popped off to me over the Holiday period. Had enough. We are not speaking. She is a fanatical Trumper. My wife and I will not be attending the family thanksgiving dinner this year because she will be in attendance.
