I'd been struggling with my inherent "tribalism" in disdaining the trumpers among my friends and family. I finally figured out - it's about values, not only candidate and ignorance. They have completely different values than I do, and their values are despicable and damaging.

In my extended Texas family, it's the racism
and the bid daddy complex that gets me.

I just can't stand being around them.

A family member said to me "I can't believe you'd stop speaking to family over politics" and I told her it wasn't about politics it was about morals.

I want to say to every trump supporter, all things we all should be saying to them. Loudly.

I copy and pasted it. The feelings expressed by designmom perfectly express my own. It's about CORE VALUES...

I notice that several of my personal friends and neighbors follow her too. Gabrielle Blair is getting a ton of support for her post. I love how she refers to tRump Shame. It’s a thing...and a lot of his asshole supporters have it. They have shame and they won’t own it and change their vote. This, imho makes them worse than the deranged q-anon cult followers who have no shame.

I’ve abandoned most of my family.
I plan to be on the right side of history with 45.
