What are your encounters with friends or relatives who supported Trump like?

11. I had dinner with my neighbor who has always been a bit iffy politically

but now she is full on willfully ignorant. I suspected she wouldn't vote for Hillary but she told me she voted FOR Trump. From her incoherent blathering, her reasons included 1) both sides are the same, 2) she can't stand Hillary, 3) she had to put up with Obama for 8 years so now we have to put up with Trump for four years, and 4) said she can only control the space around her. When she ranted about a couple of policies the state legislature rammed through this year, she didn't know the GOP had rammed them through and wouldn't believe me when I told her so. I asked her what she meant by 'putting up with Obama" she had no answer. When I asked her what she liked about Trump she had no answer. When I asked why she bothered to vote if she can't impact anything outside her little sphere of influence, she bellowed I couldn't tell her not to vote and she has a right to vote. When I mentioned clean air and clean water issues she accused me of making stuff up because "we have clean air and clean water so why do you care" and scoffed at my true reply that every river and lake in our state is polluted and the gop will make it worse. I ended the conversation saying "I don't know what your values are" and asked 'what do you stand for?" and again she made no reply.

I've known her for 20 years and she is very ignorant about politics and political issues. I'm done being anything but "civil over the fence" with her because I feel she, with one vote, undid so many positive things I've worked on for so many years.

Thanks for listening.
