[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Yeah, the family group chat has one person who was thinking about voting Trump this time and recently out of nowhere was like "I asked you to stop talking to me about politics. Respect my choice. A lot of what you're hearing isn't true and a lot of what you know about WWII isn't true." I don't think she gets where she's being led but it's pretty plain to a lot of us.

I do appreciate that this type of topic allows people who are ok with the bigotry and hatred displayed by the Trumpers and Republicans to out themselves by describing said bigotry and hatred as "just politics" when in reality it's far, far more than that.
