I know someone who voted for Trump. She in no way has the worst characteristics we see in those people. She can't be racist, she's too fair-minded, too compassionate, in the real hands-on sense, not just towards me, but other blacks we know as well. Yet... one day during a group lunch, the topic of Michael Brown came up, and you could swear she was a Fox Newser. Ugh. But... like the friend I mentioned below, she did some things for me when I was ill that no Trumpest would consider doing. So... consistent kindness overwhelms what we consider monstrous judgement, and I hope that continues, since I don't want to lose this woman's friendship. I have no idea how she feels about BLM, and I won't be asking!
