16. This assumes I trusted them at some point.

Which I haven't And, that includes relatives. I don't look at them differently, because the few republicans in my family are ignorant kooks and/or congenital lying racists--just like the vast majority of what is left to that party. Nothing has changed to make me see them any differently than I already had. I have long found it impossible to be friends with republicans, so they don't exist.

As to the other questions, no I would not want to be in a foxhole with them. But, I don't feel betrayed, because I already knew what I was getting with them. I already know that the "just politics" argument is bullshit, because I have long seen what is actually the case.
