And is voting for Trump, breaks my heart because we used to be so close.

She is making good money now and I have watched the more she made the more she got conservative. She doesn't watch the news and when told how bad Trump is she nervously laughs and says both sides are bad.

I just pulled back and don't talk politics with her, last time we talked about it in July we had a huge argument. Crushed my heart.
