> Two hours ago while on a trip I found out my brother voted for trump. He has two girls, one just turned 6 and the other is 1. His words were “I believed in some of his policies” which I understand but still cannot stand behind because to me **it doesn’t matter if I believe in some of the polices when the person as a whole is beyond repulsive.**
>
> Then his girlfriend that he’s been with for years said “he also doesn’t believe illegal immigrants should be here.”
>
> This is the biggest thing that hit home, our dad was an illegal immigrant
So you’re barely better than your brother at heart but dislike the things that affect you personally
Pretty good thread so far
