In reply to the discussion: Have you lost any friends or family over their support of Trump/GOP? [View all]Bibluca
(63 posts)I remember reading some years ago a collection of interviews done with people whose families had left Germany either during Hitler's time or just after, that focused on the response of their own families to the rise of Nazism. It was terrible to hear them talk about siblings or parents or friends getting sucked into Hitler's madness and how nothing would change their minds about him. Some of the interviewees made peace with them after the war, for the sake of happiness, but many could never forgive these people for helping cause so much damage, and never saw them or spoke with them again.
I don't see it as holding a grudge, but rather it's like learning something about a person that you never saw before. Something bad.
I guess that's the risk of having any family or friends, that one day you'll see something in them you really don't like.
All five of my immediate family members are Pro-Trump.
You're not alone in this boat. We're with you.
