After this election, will you treat your friends - who supported Trump - any differently?
Is this election just politics as usual?
Or will you look at them with a dubious eye?
Or will it all depend on who wins the election?
Will everything return to normal after this election?

I'm like you, but the other way around! People often think I'm Chinese (I think they say Chinese when they mean "some type of Asian", lol); they're usually surprised to hear that my family is Argentinian/hispanic.
Growing up in the South, a lot of people had very odd ideas about foreigners. I remember a girl asking me, with a sneer, if my extended family in Argentina lived "in huts". I told her that no, my family lived in Buenos Aires, a much bigger city than the American one we lived in (Atlanta).
Crap like that always made me feel like I wasn't a "real American," even though I was born here. I was so thrilled and happy when Obama was elected because I thought maybe that was the proof that Americans had started becoming more open-minded. I felt like the country was finally getting to a point where the idea of an American is much more inclusive...and here comes Donald fucking Trump to take us back to the '50s. 
Many responders to this thread sound similar to the Republicans who are afraid to speak up against Trump and his supporters. DU'ers are calling them fascist, the kind of people that lead to Nazi Germany. I think that if we shun Trump Supporters we miss the opportunity to nudge them away from their views. If we just unfriend them we are leaving a void, a silence that can serve as giving up or acceptance to their view. I know we can't change anyone's view with a few zingers. We can change their attitude and mind by planting seeds of thought and following up by showing everyone acceptance and compassion to the people Trump Supporters rail against.
would have never been friends to begin with.
