The problem with that post about how to deal with Trump supporters in your life is this: For those of us in red states, that would mean cutting of everyone.

If I took their advice and cut these people out of my life, I would be divorcing my husband and never speaking to my parents again. Or any of my inlaws, nieces or nephews. The only person in my entire extended family who shares my political views is my sister.

So I'm really supposed to divorce my husband over this? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm tempted. But this is a terrible thing to be confronted with. When I married him he didn't think this way. He's changed over the last 20 years and we basically can't talk politics any more.

I don't know what to do, but I don't see how cutting myself off from my entire family is going to help in any way.

So that's my two cents.

I am grieving and like everyone else looking for things to do. I am in one of the reddest red states in the country and have a front row seat for what life in Trump's America is like. I already live there.

Best wishes to you. I am floundering for a path on to get through this. It's like going back in time.
