I’m having a hard time finding excuses to be friends with Trump supporters. They keep up with the “whataboutisms,” false equivalencies and racism, overt and subtle. I have a few in my family, and a lot more friends, because I always thought it wrong to put politics in front of people...but I’m finding that with them, politics always come first...

That and the fact that they can ignore all the blatant lies.

It’s become their identities.. A trump cult’s arison from his reckless adaptation of hate propaganda spewed by wrong-wing media sources backed by Industrialists looking to lessen their responsibility to those who’ve made them wealthy. Both complicated, and not..

Their behavior reminds me of a cultural suicide; failing at ‘The American Dream,’ they’d rather go down in flame than a slow smolder. And, they want to take the rest of us with them.

I’ve cut them from my circle of friends, though there were few to begin with. Family, too. If they’ve sided with destroying our nation and the planet, they will forgo my help.

Same here. I can handle a difference in political views, but find it really difficult to accept that someone voted for Trump. I have a few in my family.

If you're staying friends in hopes of opening their minds you're almost certainly wasting your time. If still want to hang out with them, the old time advice to never discuss religion or politics is what you need. You'd need to communicate that to them though. Maybe if they bring it up say you love their company but talking politics is hurting our relationship. How are your grandkids doing by the way?
