I can't believe it! But She is on FB yelling four more years!
I feel like I failed as a big sister.

Thought I taught her better about how the Constitution works.

(28,313 posts)the courts throw out his dopey shit for being without merit or standing and voter's votes are actually tabulated. Tell her she needs to just accept it.

(35,955 posts)I'm lucky in that I don't know anyone that would support Trumpelthinskin. I'm pretty sure if I did, it'd be a relationship ending issue. While I could and did befriend neocons during the Bushco years, Trump supporters are completely different and support the caging of small children and separation from their parents. They support the abuse of women and other minorities. There's little difference between them and fans of dictators throughout history...

(14,852 posts)It's clear from the CNN exit poll that it was mostly white evangelicals who put us in this situation again.
My evangelical sister voted for Trump immediately! She requested an absentee ballot and then hand-delivered it as soon as the ballot arrived.
They were nearly 42% of all white voters per CNN, which is way higher than their overall percentage!

Our 14-year-old grandson in another southern state has been noising his group's support for Trump and a new misogyny to go with it, even though he's always liked and gotten along very well with girls, and everyone else. The opposite of his sophisticated and liberal parents' values, and that's probably the point for him, but I can tell our daughter isn't completely sure it's just passing adolescent nonsense.
Lady Freedom Returns
(14,120 posts)Your grandson has time to get his head together. Being 14 he is just trying to be a rebel or , as you said, adolescent nonsense.

(58,785 posts)claim to support Trump. Whatever happens to Trump out of office, he's just going to get fattier, saggier, and losier.

(2,626 posts)She's not the yelling, cheering kind. She's the quiet, secretive Trumper. She votes the same as the Evangelicals at her mega church but doesn't talk about it.
