Told a trump supporter My neighbor

10. Thank you for taking the time to answer so thoughtfully

I, too have thought about this for the last 7 or so years. Thankfully I only had two republican friends. I inherited this couple when I married 32 years ago. The wife in particular was great fun to be with and a joy to be around. The husband I wasn’t crazy about, but as couples we had fun and they were always nice. We even bought a vacation home together. Many years went by, occasionally we talked about politics. My husband and I being life long Democrats. Over the years issues bothered me, choice and control over women’s own bodies, equal rights for LGBTQ, racism, healthcare for all, safety nets for the poor. Oddly enough both had siblings who are gay, but that didn’t sway them. She had a sister with a significant disability that desperately needed a safety net. Anyway, Trump was the very last straw. I haven’t seen them in the last 4 years. My husband still meets the husband for lunch occasionally. He says they are not /no longer Trump fans. I hold them accountable for all the damage to democracy and loss of human life. They are both smart enough to have seen the disaster the Republican Party has become over the last 10? 20? years. The Tea Party, the hypocrisy, the denial of basic science.

If I wouldn’t dream of socializing with Trump, I thought how can I socialize with the people who are actually responsible for him being elected.

In any case, thank you for answering my question.
