In reply to the discussion: Just found out my relatives voted for Trump [View all]LOL Lib
(1,462 posts)My cousin and I are close, like sister close. I couldn't believe she voted for Trump. I know my cousins deepest secrets, desires, etc...I was bowled over to learn she voted Trump. We never really discussed politics. I assumed she found him as repulsive as I do. I know that we joked about his hair in the past, but nothing in depth.
I feel like there is a part of my cuz that I don't know now, but I can't throw away the fact that we grew up together. She is a kind soul, loving, nurturing, volunteers at animal shelters....I just refuse to let this separate us.
Can you see how it's not as simple for some of us to just cut a life long friend from our lives? I can certainly see your point of view if this was a family member I rarely interacted with.
