[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took the hard line on this when my daughter had just started elementary school.  We are Black and she had made friends with a girl whose parents had voted for Trump.  She repeatedly asked to have playdates with this kid and I always came up with an excuse.  Then I just flat out told her that they couldn't have playdates because the parents were strong Trump supporters.  Anyhow, the two would still always hang out and became best friends.  I relented and allowed a playdate after the mom asked and they have had many since then.  The little girl is honestly, the nicest, sweetest girl in the class.  I'm so glad they found each other.  Go figure.[/quote]

I totally hear you and felt/feel similarly, but at the same time I know that it's possible the little girl's parents are super pro-life (not my thing either) or toher single-issue voters or just feel better about republicans than democrats overall (again, I'd disagree with them but don't think that's an immoral stance). How do you distinguish between the trumps who are sexist/racistsm etc. versus "normal" conservatives who voted for trump beacuse they thought it was the best option?[/quote]

Unfortunately, I can’t.  I just know this family has treated my daughter so warmly and that the daughter continuously expresses how much she likes/appreciates my daughter. It’s a tough call but this kid treats my daughter so well, I will let them keep playing together until I see something that causes me concern. [/quote]
