I have lost contact with friends and family because of this. You are lucky to be able to discuss it with them. All I see and hear is hypocrisy. Hate. Fear mongering and to an extent ,jealousy. Hoping for better outcomes. Still don't see any of that as an excuse to back such a person to lead our Country

Yes, I am lucky. I have only lost contact with 1 brother over our political/cultural differences. And please do not misunderstand me -- I do not see any of these things as excuses for backing Trump. Doing so was just wrong, on so many levels.

We certainly agree. I never thought we would come to this as a nation.

Nor did I nor my parents, who moved here after their country was occupied by the Nazis. They thought we'd all be safe from dictators here.

I thank God my parents are not here to witness this. Most of us at my age, are children OF immigrant grandparents. We managed just fine with becoming AMERICANS. United for freedom. So sad
