Having trouble respecting my elders when they are Trump supporters…

I don’t feel like I can trust their judgement or them around my baby. It takes a village but what if you don’t trust the people in your village?

I think yall need to stop talking about politics. I have lots of friends and family that have different views some Trump some not. But we don’t talk about it. And I don’t even think about that when needing to trust them. I like put that aside. Who they vote for because right now everyone is just crazy and old and there will be pros and cons to both and people will always have different views. But who someone votes for doesn’t make them a good or bad person or a person who can be trusted or not. How would you feel if they were doing the same to you because you don’t like Trump? If they stopped talking to you or stopped doing anything. I have try to just push the thought of them supporting Trump aside

Respectfully, I disagree with Gabrielle. For me, I wouldn't trust the judgement of someone who supports trump either because when it comes to him, there are no good points. By supporting him, they support misogyny, racism, policing womens bodies and minds, rape, sexual assault, and many other awful things.

I stay away from people who don’t share the same political views as me lol. As a black woman and visibly Muslim, I can’t just move like you do @Gabrielle. Not everyone can just turn a blind eye. If your political views are harmful to others, you need to (if possible cut them off) or just keep a very good distance.

I'm from the UK, but I can relate to some extent. Me and my family have VERY different views, I've learnt that I just can't talk bout alot of things with them. It's hard but it's either that or turn my back on family and have no one 🤣 Depending on how crazy their views are would be the deciding factors as to whether I trust them with my children or not.

@Maddie I agree. You can cut people off if you want to that’s totally up to you. But if you need or want them there then I would try to look past it. But if you dint care then tell them you don’t want to be around them or just stop talking to them.

I think it’s similar to religion I have friends and family who believe differently than me. I may or may not agree but if I want them in my life we will just skip that convo.

@Jodie as well as a genocide.

Genocide supporters support killing babies

Never trust them with your baby

@Gabrielle it's not similar to religion at all. Religion is mostly peaceful, it's only when people's own elitism and negativity are involved that religion gets used as an excuse for hatred and violence. Whereas trump supports and perpetrates all those things I and others mentioned above. It is seriously crazy to me that you compare politics and religion, like they are even remotely similar! Respectfully, I'm not sure if I envy or feel sorry for your worldly naivety.

@Jodie I think Gabrielle was making the comparison to religion in the sense that she'll also avoid conversation about religion with family and friends if their views clash. I do this with ALOT of topics with my family! Politics, religion, sexuality and gender. All things that people are passionate about. My views are very different and to keep the peace I have to just not engage in conversations about any of them otherwise I'd have absolutely no family left 😂😂
