(4,187 posts)A Jewish (!) Trump supporter, to boot. (I can't for the life of me understand how a member of any minority group could possibly support Trump -- I have an especially hard time wrapping my mind around a Jew supporting a neo-Nazi like Trump.)
She is an extremely fearful person. (She's the type of person who thinks someone is hiding behind each corner, waiting for an opportunity to harm her.) She listens to right-wing radio all day long and thinks she is a well-informed person. I have made it clear to her that I don't wish to discuss politics with her, but even when she tries to avoid politics, her fearful and hateful philosophy seeps through in the comments she makes about the pet "issues" of the right wing, such as immigrants.
I'm sorry, but I don't see her coming around. On the contrary, each day, she seems more enamored with Trump. I don't see anything being able to overcome the fear and hatred that fill her heart and soul as long as she continues to get her information from right-wing media sources. At this point, I am considering breaking off all contact with her to avoid having to absorb all that fear and hatred.
