(11,578 posts)I'd be dollars to doughnuts that there are a pretty large numbers of families in a similar boat.
My brother-in-law is a Drumpf supporter, and no one can believe it. Thankfully, he never talks about it, but it's weird because he is SUCH a nice person. Masters in Environmental Engineering, committed to making the planet better, for one thing.
The day I met him was at a T'giving family (theirs) gathering, and he appeared to be extremely interested in making sure I felt included and welcomed. If I went into a different room of the gathering, he almost always came with. It wasn't intrusive or weird, but seemed genuinely solicitous. In fact, I REALLY liked him for it, although I was completely fine with or without.
So...there is a real spectrum, obviously. He would NEVER say that in front of his family, and I very much doubt he'd ever say it. No one can figure out what the attraction is for him.
