And this year has been especially brutal.

I think Mr. Stills is a human being like all of us, and when you suffer deep losses, you want to spend time with the friends and loved ones you have left, even if you disagree vehemently with their political views.

I still talk to family members who are pro-Trump. I grit my teeth when they bring up politics, and remain silent.

They are all the family I have left and I don’t want to be alone.

Doesn’t mean I support Trump. Just means I don’t want to be alone.

Maybe Mr. Stills feels some of those same feelings.

He was there to support his friend, that's all. And $3,000 to his class is about like $3 to you and LiberalLoner Sep 2023 #11

By your logic, we shouldn't castigate Trump for his lunch with Nick Fuentes. Fiendish Thingy Sep 2023 #13

Helping your racist friend raise money for causes you oppose seems hypocritical to me AZSkiffyGeek Sep 2023 #14
