People got really good at just glossing over all the inconvenient "grab 'em by the pussy!" stuff.

All of my immediate family voted Hillary, but I have an aunt and an uncle (and possibly some of their spouses/kids) who I suspect may have voted Trump. Suspect, because my mom very pointedly did not ask them, because she doesn't want to know (they're her siblings). I think it would really upset her, and she like, kind of knows the answer but doesn't want to find out.

Mom's an ex-Republican, and her whole family is still pretty conservative. But she and her closest sister moved pretty significantly to the left this past cycle. Not far left, mind you, but they're at least center if not slightly left-of now.

tl;dr I feel your pain kinda but I'd be so sad if someone in my immediate family voted for him so I'm sorry :(

My mom would be able to sympathize with your mom. She's not an ex-Republican like yours is-she's always been more liberal-but she has a sister and brother who are VERY conservative and supported Trump, and she's found herself holding her tongue a lot at family gatherings as a result. She did have another sister who shared her political views, but that sister passed away a few years ago).

Many of my relatives are much more conservative than my immediate family. My sister, mom, and I definitely feel like outliers*. And in my town in general, I know a few other liberal people personally, but more often than not I'm likely to run into conservatives and Trump supporters. So I and my family get a front row seat to a lot of the conservative/Trump-supporting mindset in my neck of the woods.

*(I also keep thinking about how my dad would react to Trump being president if he were still alive, He'd be sitting here like, "What the hell were people thinking?!")

That sounds really exhausting, anon. :|

I don't know what I'd do if I actually knew for sure someone in my family voted for Trump (and I do have strong suspicions about some extended family members but for the sake of harmony I don't bring them up). I would just be so appalled and disappointed.

I didn't even ask my brother who he voted for. He sent me a typical catching-up email and mentioned that it was the first election he had voted in and his candidate won. We don't talk about politics. I don't even know what he thinks my politics are since I haven't been open about the way I drifted away from the fundamentalism I used to share with him, but for years I've defended people under the cover of judge not and love your neighbor and all that. I'm not out to him.
