General Discussion

Both of my adult sons voted for Trump more than once and I've been struggling with it for a long time. We barely talk about politics. Each has five children though and that gives me extra reasons to keep the connection. I have hope that my husband and I can help influence them as they grow up.

Not all MAGAs are the same, I think. Neither of my sons is mean or rubbing things in others' faces. Both are bright, educated, hard-working, kind, polite, helpful, loving, very good dads and sons. One took it as a matter of faith that God's hand was on Trump when he survived the assassination attempt. (Barf.) He's been thoroughly conned.

The older one though has become very disillusioned with Trump's lies and wars, thank God. But he's not very willing to have a full conversation. I suspect he could tell that I couldn't stand some of those he admired, like Alex Jones.

My younger one and I are corresponding, or have been. Haven't heard back from him on what I sent him about a week ago. I don't expect to change his views but perhaps he'll listen to a few things and mull those over.
