Always remember and beware the Trump voters.

I DO.
Constantly.

My brother, nephew and sister are Trump voters. I’m sure there are more in my extended family I don’t know about.

I feel really badly about my nephew and sister, as they have been brainwashed by Fox News and talk radio. My sister voted twice for Obama, but then started watching Fox. She came to hate everything about Obama and started to embrace Trump. She always liked Trump from watching him on his tv shows; she thought a great business leader like him would make the best President. She still thinks he’s great, and she thinks only Fox News tells the truth, anything else is fake news.

So it’s hard to avoid them and treat them like an enemy. This political environment has negatively affected my relationship with my sister, as we don’t see each other much anymore. We often end phone calls on a bad note, because I complain about something Trump did and she rushes to his defense. We end up angry with each other and don’t communicate for days or weeks.

My brother is another story, he has always been a selfish, greedy conservative, who would sell his soul for a tax cut. We have never had much in common to begin with. Trump wasn’t his first or second choice as President, but he was willing to overlook all his faults because he was the Republican nominee. He’s impressed with how well the stock market is doing, doesn’t say a thing about anything else.

Holidays must be hell for you. The only ones in my family are my in laws that live in Arizona and I only see them once a year. My mother in law though is major cool and hates Twitler as much as I do. But one of her daughters family are all loyal rehtugs and the other sister in laws famly are rethugs and the last time I saw her I saw that she was starting to get sucked into the right wing world. It is so cultish.

Our son isn’t political yet, but hopefully he’ll end up in the right place. So at home, we can talk freely.

Holidays are tough, but my mom has a standing rule that no political talk is allowed (at least around her).

Your comment about the right wing world being cultish is true. Critical thinking skills are important, and these skills are missing when someone is brainwashed.

Just like in the Bush era, near the end of a rethug's time, very few will be willing to admit that they voted for him.

Apparently decades of attacking and underfunding public education and "big gubment" has worked devolutionary wonders on the U.S. population.
