Where do we go from here?
I don’t want to have anything to do with people who sold out women’s rights, democracy, and environment. If you were my immediate family I would barely talk to you and avoid seeing you. If you are extended family I’m not going to talk to you, you’re not welcome to my house. Go, live in your own cesspool. |
Six months to a year. I don't need to socialize with you right now. I can be cordial now. Don't push it. |
It’s the opposite. My kids don’t want to see their grandparents and it makes me really sad. It is not because they voted for Harris. It’s because they can’t talk about anything other than politics now and it’s exhausting. We don’t love Trump. I don’t even like him. I regret ever participating in their conversations. But come on, talk to the kids about something else. None of the grandkids can even vote! |

I don't think I have the power to change anyone's opinion. If his own cabinet, former respected Republicans and his generals couldn't. I get we will lose but I am finished talking with them. Perhaps his policies fail that will change their minds. Otherwise, I am taking care of my family and my friends. Our lives are forever changed. I just hope we have clean air and water. |
Wise advice from generations past, on getting along with people, do not talk about finances, religion or politics. So, nothing important! Still, it works. But if you voted the other way, I don't really want to see you for awhile. It's a chore. It's a chore to be civil. |
That is not true. When Biden won I felt relief but I never rubbed it in anyone's face. |
It’s so sad to see so many of you falling into Trump’s trap. A trap he and his leadership team have deliberately have laid for you.
Cult leaders WANT their followers to be isolated from family, friends and neighbors. They work, over time, to cause division and irreparable rifts, so that their followers have literally nowhere else to go, and no one to turn to. You are playing the part he wants you to play. You are becoming the people he wants you to become: people who will never associate with family, friends, neighbors and coworkers who voted for him. He’s using cult tactics. And you fell for it. You’re playing your part. You are the puppets and the sheep he wants you to be. He has you exactly where he wants you: playing the role of stonewall family and friends who are cutting off his voters so that they only have him to turn to. |
How sad you voted for someone you didn't even like. It hasn't even been a week and you expect people to care about your stupid soccer game when the whole world is on fire and so many people are in a world of pain over this one man. If your kids don't have any empathy than perhaps it is best they stay away from their family. Even if they can't vote your family knows you are all for Trump, the felon and sexual predator. Congrats on your victory. Hope you don't have daughters. |
It’s always democrats asking for unity, healing and a lower temperature. Americans voted for the exact opposite. We can’t be the only ones who know how to behave and value our country. |
Well what our Trump voters doing to bridge the gap? Why does it have to be us? |
Same. There was no “march over our rivals.” This kind of brainwashing of Trump voters is impossible to overcome. Unless democrats are able to replicate the right wing propaganda machine. Which they won’t because they believe in facts. |
America was divided when Trump was elected in 2020. January 6th was the nail in the coffin. But I stopped engaging when W was elected. Polite only when necessary. Soon I’ll be listing a very high value home. I’ll vet the agent. Pretty easy to do. I’ll continue to do the good work for those in need in my community whether they’re dem or rep. People need our pantries, interpreters, attorneys, after school care, senior centers and transportation.
It’s going to be intense in the coming days. Trump is truly an idiot who leaked his own little secrets. Dem officials have their own little secret brewing. Dare you to find the encrypted messages. You think the current administration will quietly acquiesce. Lotta old people in the house and court. Lotta funerals. Rot In Perpetuity. I don’t care, do you? |
Ask them! Oh wait, do you know any? (Or any who are willing to tell you that they voted for him?) I’m on here asking Trump voters, too. I’m grateful to the one or two who have weighed in. You are dancing to his tune. When he speeds up the music, you will dance yourself into a fevered frenzy. When he eases up and the music slows, you will be so deep into fight or flight, you won’t take a breath to enjoy it. He wants you to cancel Thanksgiving with your friends and neighbors who think differently from you. He doesn’t want us together, he wants Democrats snarling and crying in their corner, and MAGAs crowing and gloating in their corner. I’m making my own spaces with my own family, friends, and neighbors. I set the music in my life. And I’d rather take some of my cues from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Angela Alsobrooks and her opponent Larry Hogan, who have all eloquently called for unity, not division. |
It went right over your head, which is typical. I roll my eyes at people who suddenly are up in arms, where have you been the last, I don’t know, 40, 30, 20, 10 years???? Like I said, it’s better late than never, because so many people just view life through their own lens or cosplay unless it actually affects them. And then they readjust their thinking. |
