How many of you have parents and family who voted for Trump

With the exception of one niece, they all voted for him. If any of them gloated, I’d lose my shit because the only time I’ve mentioned Biden’s name to them in the past 4 years was at a 4th of July family cookout a couple years ago. My trumper brother falsely claimed the elevated gas prices were due to Biden, and everyone else also chimed in to blame Biden. I responded that presidents don’t set gas prices, the greedy oil companies do, and that Biden tried to regulate the price increases but no repub supported it, and my niece backed me up. None of them believed a word we said. I’m wondering what Thanksgiving is going to be like. I told my mom weeks ago that if anyone brings up politics at dinner, I’ll just get up and leave.

Thank god no. I'm only close to my mom, brother and some cousins on mom's side and none are Trumpers. The evangelicals on Dad's side I have nothing to do with. Still, I haven't left the house yesterday or today since I'm working remote, but I'll have to go into the office tomorrow. We're an overwhelmingly Democratic group there but there are a few Republicans, but it's really just the inane banality of talking about football and restaurants I don't even want to hear when the bottom has just dropped out of the country we live in. I'm just not interested in going out in the world in the aftermath just yet.

Every single one of them did, & just like before the election, there’s nothing to discuss.

They view the world in ways that I do not, which makes any discussion about politics & social issues moot.

They’re not changing their minds, nor am I.

NO ONE in my family - even a bunch of Republicans - supported Trump. My mentally challenged step-sister isn’t saying. She lives in the South and her sole reason for existence is being popular with her drunken redneck friends. She’s too dumb to understand that voting is a secret ballot.

I have three uncles in their 70s. I know they voted Trump because they all bow to the alter of Al Bundy. Larry the Cable Guy, football…. ✔️✔️✔️ No gloating yet, but it’s in the air.

Mom, 2 sisters (all who were raped in their youth & one had 2 abortions not by the rapes) & 1 bro-in-law all voted for Trumpy. I'm the only Haris vote in my "human" circle.

I haven't talked 2 my best friend about voting but I know she voted for him (she is bi, something I found out in the last few years) & will inherit about 300t of land soon.

I need a new circle of humans in my life.

I do-I do! But I don’t talk to those assholes anymore.

My parents voted Democrat, and my mom complained about a lot of the same things they’re being dragged through the mud on today. Didn’t want Trump, but thought Biden was too old and stayed too long.

My brother in Florida voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020. He's always been mostly apolitical but we were all raised Democrat so I always assumed if he did vote it would be straight Dem. What I didn't know until summer of 2017 was he and his wife's long-term addiction to Fox News. After having one civil political decision, I realized he was totally brainwashed and, if I wanted to maintain a positive relationship with him, it was best to stick to emails only with 0 discussion of politics.

I had a plan to wait for this election to be over, KNOWING Kamala was gonna win (UGH!), then slowly open more discussion hoping he perhaps had changed his views and had finally come around to sanity. (I don't know how he voted. I deliberately didn't ask).

Now, of course, I haven't contacted him. I'm sure we'll email at some point regarding some nominal family issue, but I have no intention of bringing up the election.

He lives in a retirement community. I believe he's surrounded by Trumpers. He also has health issues and depends heavily on his Trumper wife to take care of his medical needs, etc. Aside from the Trump thing, she's a great person and does a wonderful job taking care of him.

My thinking is, with the horrible results being what they are, it might be better to just leave him be. His safety bubble might be less safe for him should I attempt to change his mind.

DEMOCRATIC, not Democrat. Do not adopt the broken English on this forum.

I have cousins who I’m certain voted for him because they’re evangelicals but I never see them, so nothing changed there.
