How do you cope with Trumpers in your family or close associates?

 
There is only one Trumper in my life, and I only found out because her FB posts are all public. (Mine are private.) I openly talk about how I feel about DT, and she'd never given a hint of how she actually feels about anything political.

Then I saw her FB account and now I can hardly stand to be around her. She's the same person, nice on the outside, but I feel like he's the devil and she's a worshipper. She has posts of Melania, and of Trump being prayed over by evangelicals, and she posts lies about Obama . . .

She is an evangelical, so she probably has lots of friends who believe the same things she does. I'm sure I'll never change her mind.

It will be interesting to see if she ever changes her mind about DT, if the Mueller report is released, in all its gory detail. I''m not very hopeful, because I'm mystified as to how any nice person could have been taken in by him in the first place. She'll probably just be convinced the report is a heap of lies.

Living in an area where 83% voted for Hillary, I don't run into these people very often. Thank goodness.

JHFC... these people are lunatics.

2. I know what you mean

It’s a shock when you unintentionally stumble on something that shows a real ugly side of someone you associate with. Especially when you thought they were nice people.

I’ve had some of those close encounters.

It happens every time I look into the DUmp...

12. See, this is the problem I have with this. When people say that is about politics

or that "people are more than their political alliances" it almost make it sound like we are talking about rivalry in sports teams.

Politics alliances reflect so much more of who we really are. How can someone who would give you the shirt of their back vote for someone who has hurt the most vulnerable all his life, and how is using the power of the presidency to destroy those who are in need, who can't defend themselves?

How can someone who is decent and has a good heart vote to give such a monster such power?

How does a good person vote for someone who mocked the disabled, disrespects women wants to take health care away from those who needed the most...well, you know who how he is. A true monster

After the horror at the border, children being torn from their mother's arms....how can anyone either support/be indifferent to so such suffering be a good person?

You must have supported it when it was Barry doing it, so...

48. In order to be a trumpster, you have to lack empathy. As long as it doesn't affect you

It is OK.

A decent, good-heated person could never support this monster.

4. I don't.

I was assaulted by a Trump family member recently because I pointed out a change in tax policy that would eliminate a deduction for the family member. I could have called the law, but I would be homeless if I did.

along with having a knee ground into my chest and hands around my throat trying to choke me. It's been five days and my chest is bruised, my back is hurt and I have nerve pain in my right hip. However, since the family member is a veteran and I've had my share of legal issues so my credibility is low. It doesn't matter how much I suffer since everyone ignores the issue and says the family member has PTSD.

Oh, bullshit...

10. Unfortunately, she's really into the politics.She has no idea I know, and I'm not going to tell her.

I'm safe from her proselytizing, but I'm avoiding her when I can. In my life, she's the only living embodiment of Trump hate, masked in that warped Christianity. For example, she says she accepts her son -- but she also prays for him because he is gay. I had hoped that her son coming out to her would change her, but it obviously hasn't.

So, ever since I found out about her Trump worship, I really kind of loathe her . . . but I can't avoid her completely. Oh well.

51. Tattoo a swastika on their bottom forehead just above the nose area,...

Give them a big juicy kiss on each cheek,..
Turn them around so they are facing away from you,..
Give them a gentle tap on the fanny,..
(Like five quick little spanks-5 in quick succession,..
And shout out,.. "Get the **** lost,.. you are just a colossal waist of my time, I'm done with this shit".

Bye-bye !

Bid them adieu.

61. I never talk about politics with the Trumper in my life either. But I can hardly stand to be around

her, because I understand her a lot better now. Her niceness around me doesn't match her Trumper views.

63. I have a sister ..die hard MAGA girl

She text me about a month ago and told me to tune into Faux at such and such a time for an hour long interview with Trump.
I text back this message: The only time I want to see Trump is when he is being escorted from the White House in handcuffs by Federal Marshals...I have not heard from her since nor do I care to.

I'd say that is at least on the eighth level of Dante's hell.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I've got some news for these DUmbasses that push people out of their lives for their political beliefs. The people you DUmbasses break contact with due to your intolerance, bigotry and hatred for their political beliefs are much better off without you being in their lives and always will be.
