Have you lost any friends or family over their support of Trump/GOP? [View all]

I had a friend who loves Scott Walker and Bill O'Reilly. I tolerated it even though his wife, get this, is a teacher! When they claimed people and the media weren't giving Trump a chance last Spring, I had enough and dropped all contact with them.

While it sucks to lose a friend, I just decided I did not need people like that in my life.
