[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I am finding it hard to continue relationships with friends and family who voted for Trump. My spouse is a Latino immigrant who was brought here without papers as a child. That's all long-since straightened out, but every time I see these people I think,[b] you secretly think my spouse is a murderer/rapist or that they should "go back."[/b] Even if they think Trump's position on Latino immigration were flawed, they are still willing to endorse a person who has those opinions. Further, none of them has ever told me they don't agree with that part of his platform or opinions. The silence is deafening. Hard to avoid the conclusion that they agree.

I don't think I will ever be able to look at them in the same way. All trust is gone. So, I steer clear now. It's sad.[/quote]

As a non-Clinton supporting, conservative, first-generation American I assure you that I do not think the bolded.  Those that feel this way are not shy in expressing it.    It's a shame that a vast majority of liberals are of the impression that if you didn't support Hillary or Bernie then you are certainly a racist bigot.  This is simply not the case and this closed-minded, I can't be friends with people who don't think Hillary is the second coming of christ nonsense is equally as repugnant.[/quote]

Trump's racist comments about all the "illegals" -- how dangerous they were, outlandish facts about how many murders they commit, entirely unbiased in any evidence -- was a major (and one of the only) campaign positions of Trump.  He cited this stuff at rallies all the time. Anyone who voted for him knew what they were voting for. You can't claim innocence on this position just because it's not something you personally prioritized when you voted.  [/quote]

See, my point proven.  [/quote]
