[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you can anymore because with this election every aspect of one’s life is impacted or will be impacted:

Friends and neighbors have lost jobs
Gay children choosing to remain abroad 
Loss of money in retirement accounts
Implications/Accusations of being a DEI hire with damage to professional reputation
As of Friday, possible loss/ slow down of ss to elderly parents
Change in prescription pricing to much higher costs for elderly parents (already)
Consumer goods on the rise due to tariffs
Willingness to give up democratic principles in the name of immigration crackdown.
I’ll stop here.

So, I guess you can talk about someone’s new baby, a recipe you like, their pretty garden, a book or movie but on some level the realization is that they too believe all of this is ok. Really hard to have the same level of friendship, connection, love you had before.

I don’t wish anyone ill but more saddened, disappointed, and often dumbfounded that anyone I knew coming from a truly working class background could have fallen for Trump and the maga republican agenda, but here we are.
