[quote=Anonymous]Yes, Trump is a disaster for both the general health of the country and, specifically, the economy.

Yes, many (apparently including your sister) were taken in by him and hold unreasonable loyalty to him.

Yes, Trump is divisive and tries to drive wedges between Americans that he can exploit.

But. . .

you think your sister is hurting and afraid.  While I fully understand the inclination to say, “I told you so” (we all did), seeing someone you love suffering isn’t something to gloat over.  You can give up on your sister and give Trump another win, or you can be the bigger person (we already know you’re wiser) and reach out with love, yet again and be there for her.  I wouldn’t expect her to have learned her lesson, but your grace and love might eventually break through.

As bad as things are now, I fully expect them to get much, much worse.  Honestly, I’m still not sure if Trump is deliberately trying to destroy America, but that’s what he’s doing.  Economically, I think we’re headed for (at best) a major depression, and quite possibly a full economic collapse.  The only way we’re going to get through it is if we put the bitterness aside and stand together as fellow Americans, and especially as families.

I truly hope I’m being paranoid and that Trump’s damages are somehow restrained, but even so, every life has some kind of problems.  (Loving) families are too precious to let anything external divide you.  I would hope that for the sake of both your sister and yourself (and everyone else in the family as well), that you focus on maintaining the familial bond and just put politics to the side.[/quote]
