My youngest daughter and daughter in law are about the same age and both hate Trump and a liberals. They are outnumbered at least 20 to 1 with the rest of the family. Daughter in laws family are Republicans. They are totally brainwashed and you can't even talk to them without them getting angry.

My family are all about in the same place politically right now. None of us can stand Trump but haven’t ruled out voting for him Lol. This alone tells me he has a good chance of winning.

Personally, I don’t see how anyone who enthusiastically backs either of these clowns are at peace with themselves.

I have a niece who has gone waaaaaaaaay Left. She thinks Greta Thuneberg is a hero, she's stopped shaving her pits and is a vegetarian. She knows better than to try discussing politics with me.

I have an uncle that's the exact same. He's pushing 70, and I've argued with him for 20 years over him voting democrat. I still can't even understand his explanation. I guess it's just leftovers from the old school southern democrats.

Two of my four kids are sky screamers. Ironically, they are both married to military men.

Yes have a first cousin that is ate up with the dumb arse. Fully supports blm and is constantly spewing liberal bs on social media.

ETA: he works on a tug boat and can’t believe the other crew members haven’t tossed him overboard yet.

Yep. There are some members of my family that I don't discuss politics with- not worth it.

You do understand your comment? Being a liberal is not good... freedom is not liberal. Freedom comes with prices and hard work. It’s earned, not given. Right wing nut, I am not but I do have morals. Grew up poor and had nothing. Walked to food banks with my sorry mom... now, with a lot of hard work, Gods grace and no hand outs, I would like to say I am somebody...

Yes I do. They live in Virginia and are ALL IN on ole Joe. Troubling thing to me is it's my Aunt and Uncle and he was a career military guy that retired as a 3 star general. He attended LSU and is in the LSU HOF.

He can't stand Trump and thinks he is a poor leader. The problem is the issues he has with Trump can be easily applied to Joe and Dems. I have quit FB and unfollowed my aunt because of some of the posts on they share and post.

It is sad really!!

Yep he's still around. He is center/right in political views but is voting against Trump. He can't get over the personal side of things. They live in Louisiana, so not worth the battle to try to change his mind. He at least respects my views and doesn't think less of me for them, so that I appreciate and am grateful for.

Yes, my entitled daughter who grew up not wanting for much because it was always given to her. I got quite a lecture about Trump’s comment of “grab them by the p—-y” and only held my tongue because she is my daughter. She can offer no other legitimate reason for her hatred of him. It’s pathetically sad.

One uncle. He's completely out of his mind. He recently attempted to tell me that Obama was the best president we've had since Truman.

I find it harder and harder to keep in touch with good friends that have become more liberal through time. I don't care if they have liberal viewpoints, it's America, but the extent to which it permeates their lives is crazy. Have a good friend who, in his birth announcement for their first child, lamented the fact that people couldn't come see their child until this nation's leadership did a better job managing the pandemic. I can't even imagine having that in a birth announcement, crazy.
