In reply to the discussion: I live in a swing state gone red and have Trumpers in my wife's family. Should I cancel them? [View all]Desert grandma
(1,077 posts)We are celebrating our 50th anniversary on Nov 23. Our kids, biologic and adoptive wanted to have a celebration for us. Unfortunately one of our adopted daughters is full blown MAGA and lives in a small ruby red Texas town. So is her husband and their young adult children. MY husband's two siblings are also Republican and Trump voters,(also from Texas and from a Republican area of Calif) though they cloak it in their "Christianity." My husband and I have decided not to participate in this. After much introspection, I realized that it is not that they are Republicans, and we are Democrats that makes us uncomfortable around them. It is because they support an immoral man that has cheated in his business and personal life. He promotes cruelty to minorities and immigrants. That family members can support this type of immoral and disgusting behavior that attempts to obstruct and eliminate others people's rights says a lot about their character and integrity. We both would feel like hypocrites. I just can not stomach the idea of engaging in this kind of hypocrisy by pretending all is well when it is clearly not.
