Apparently, this is exactly what some people would like to do. So very compassionate of you.

For the record, I'm Catholic and voted for Biden. I hate Trump with every fiber of my being.

I also have a few friends and family who are Trumpers and it's very uncomfortable, but I still associate with them all.

I have also lived in Montgomery County for 45 years and have become nauseated by the extreme slogan cultism that has been growing like weeds all across the county.

MoCo has always been on the liberal side of things, but there was always a balance of common sense as well. Connie Morella wold be brandished as a Nazi if she ran for office today.

This does not bode well for the future of Montgomery County.

This is not at all true. Connie Morella is well respected and they just named a library after her.

Why? Among other things like I don’t know actually doing a good job, she was a sane Republican, and she opposed Trump in both of his runs for president.

We just had this conversation with our young adult children. We are telling them about conservative Republicans vs alt-right lunatic/Trump Republicans (also the tea party). They need to understand how we got to where we are today.

My H is a Republican (did not vote trump ever).

It's really sad that the Republican party has been usurped by lunatics. My hope is that the Lincoln Project and never-Trumpers can get control back from the lunatics and reestablish a conservative Republican party so we have choice.

Interestingly, my H talked about Connie Morella in this conversation. Also, Michael Steele.

Won't hunt them down, but I do want to avoid them bc we are a BLack and Brown family and don't want to be near any family who votes for someone who does not want us to exist. It's a safety issue for me.

Trump done f#cked up.

My trumpy sibling is married to a POC, as is their dc. They have black and brown blood relatives and STILL are trumpers. My friend is an immigrant from South America and is trumpy as hell. Not all trumpers are motivated by racist hate, many are motivated by $$$. Money/taxes are more important than the fact that my black nephews are at great risk of being profiled and victims of brutality and that the out going president riled up racists and made open bigotry ok. I tried to sway them to reject hatred and they said I'm full of sh!t.

I think you need to dig a little deeper and with more nuance. You can be married to a POC and (stay with me now), still be racist! Men can be married to women and still be misogynist, right?

In terms of South America, the Latinx vote is far more complex. You need to consider factors such as how "White" this person appears, how evangelical leaning is this person, etc. Hate to break it to you, but the overwhelming majority of people who voted for Trump are WHITE. And are racist or are ok witih racism, which makes them racist

Our parents marched in the civil rights movement. My dad was arrested over 20 times for protesting. Our childhood home was open to intellectuals who were white, black, brown, gay, straight. My parents never taught us to be racist or not racist, but they set an example of being good friends and hosts and for raising your voice and taking action to fight for what's right. Believe me when I tell you my sibling isn't a racist, he's greedy af.

Greedy and racism go hand in hand. It's more subscribing to white supremacy

We are Catholic but I am personally pro life but I believe the law should be pro choice. I’m not racist. We give a lot to charity. I think Trump lost. And I’ll get behind Biden.

Those who support DT always say that. Standing by one, makes you one.

Pew Research disagrees, 70% ish voted Biden.

30% is still notable. (DP).

According to exit polls, 35% of Muslims voted for Trump. Maybe Dems should realize “all Republicans are racist” doesn’t have the traction it once did. I wonder what Muslims think of the Dems stances on gender identity issues for example.

I don't think the saying is all republicans are racist... it's everybody is racist, and all Trump supporters voted for a white supremacist.
