What would you do if your significant other ended up becoming a Trump supporter? My sister is STRONGLY anti-Trump. Her boyfriend supports him. If you love/like someone, you over look things; but getting into heated debates is so unhealthy. Is it worth it? For me, it wouldn't be. But you unfortuently cannot get through to loved ones sometimes.

I would try to understand what it was the person liked about Trump and then understand how the person felt about some of the very morally wrong things he has done personally and while in the office of Presidency. Depending on the other person's viewpoint would be the make or break answer. It maybe he also dislikes some of his choices, or may love them.

I could not "discuss" this with anyone & would have No respect for their "intelligence", nor even their compassion & humanity! For just one thing: Imprisoned immigrant children? I am so done!

They passed measures so that he does not have to have a definite day for releasing immigrant workers in factories down here (originally done after anti sexual harrassment steps were taken by the workforce against local management). Those jobs aren't the safest and those ppl were targeted hires for a reason. It's the push for humane treatment that gets indefinite prison time and kids in the system. They did it to hundreds of ppl earlier this year and are building new facilities that look like internment camps. Ppl support him as a push back for not getting to complain as they* think black ppl get to complain about injustices in their life.
He represents rage unearthed against those seeking advocacy who are different and ppl feel the more like that he is, then the more they can identify with him as their spokesperson.... Knowing that, I couldn't. He's been anti human rights since his start and before running for office he went on a day time TV show in the 80s/90s saying Republicans were dumb and he could use white racism to get elected. There's no reason anyone should support.
He might have dementia, but he knows what he wants to do and has for a longtime. In the end, they're making it easier to move this country toward fascism, debt, and the tyranny of government over ppl of every ethnicity. One leader should not be allowed to lie and break laws to that degree.
I couldn't continue with a trump supporter. To support trump means you don't support women... I won't tolerate that in my house..

Being Australian I can’t respond specifically but if it were a similar situation I have no right to object to her political affiliation.
No point getting twisted about it, life is too short to invest energy into political or religious nonsense with people you care about.

For me.. I wouldn’t have to do a thing, I’ve no significant other 
Met this perky school teacher, both attracted. A local, but ‘church chat’ wasn’t her first utterances … more like ‘all they places she’d like to travel beyond here.’ Sounded good!
Facebook friends, of course … and she’s ‘liking’ someone’s ‘trump sweatshirt’ 
A bit more proof of her political leaning or allegiances, or perhaps, simply proof she couldn’t get beyond them … and that was enough for me..
You can’t let it get to where your sister did. It’s got to be nipped far sooner than that. Hell, if I weren’t in an isolated village surrounded by an ocean of red ..I’d have ignored the perky teacher even sooner (
) ..though, I love teachers ~

A loved one I lived with would be impossible if they were ultra conservative or a Trump supporter. A loved one who I only interact with on occasion would be possible. My father was a conservative and hated Obama every bit as much as I hate Trump, but we never let it alienate us.
