In our close friend group, one. She believed the story about the gangs taking over an apartment complex in CO and is okay with the Sons of Anarchy handling it. (Guys, SOA is a fictional group!) She gave the excuse of Trump's 39-minute music sway due to a rallygoer having a medical emergency.
FB/acquaintances. 4 I'm sure more are, but remain pretty silent.
Close family. My BIL and his sons. BIL is a libertarian. He actually has their wifi router wrapped in tinfoil to avoid the 5G rays. SIL is a Democrat, and it blows my mind how she can stay with him. I have suspicions about my aunt and cousin, but they are pretty tight-lipped.
I did this round 1 after Sandy Hook when pro gun "friends" posted that we could never take their guns, etc., then again in 2016.
I clearly voted wrong, lol. I KNOW 5 people who will vote for Trump, but they are not friends. More IRL acquaintances. It was the loose definition of "friends" that threw me! lol.
Haha. I guess when I meant define friends I meant more like is this someone you intentionally see every week vs someone you only catch up with once a year or less. I have plenty of friends that fall across that spectrum. Some people might not consider someone they only see once a year a friend. I guess I should’ve said a friend is someone that’s not a family Member, you initiate spending time together and enjoy spending time together. There’s the definition
As a trailing mil spouse, I do take a longer view that doesn't include physical presence. For that matter, people here whom I've known since forever ago I consider friends even if we haven't met. Those are friends. We engage pretty regularly.
People I may have known in my past whose updates I see, not friends.
If I counted people I see regularly, it would be maybe 2.
Even of all those military friends I still stay in touch with (quite a few scattered around the world), not a single one is a drumpf voter including those who were formerly republicans because "republicans support military." The wool is definitely off their eyes in the last decade+
How about people I would enjoy spending time with anytime anywhere should the stars align.
Friends- zero Family- Probably all of my dad's siblings. I don't have any contact with them and have them all hidden on social media so I can't confirm lol. But I have a hard time believing they are not trumpers, just by their nature. My dad did confirm he is voting for Kamala last night, so that is good.
If I walked into Starbucks and you are in line; do I go ahead and order and say hello? Or do I turn right around, walk out and think ‘I don’t need coffee enough to deal with that asshole.’
zero known Trump supporters that I would engage in coffee line small talk. I walked out of a nursery school parent meet and greet 8 years ago after overhearing the hostess’s husband say ‘we just need to stay quiet and get him in office to get the tax cuts.’ I still avoid him.
