I turn 35 this year. Most of my friends are extremely liberal like me, and all very highly successful too. However, despite living in a very liberal state (MA) our city is older adults and so my town is full of conservatives. Thankfully my direct neighbor is a liberal, but we see Trump signs all through town. I try my best to ignore their rhetoric, and this past year, we ended up creating a safe space for diversity and inclusion forum in our town. In terms of family, like you, we have very nice family members who sadly got sucked into the right-wing media. We avoid talking about politics thankfully. Funny enough, somewhat of a punishment, but we were going to name our daughter after one of them but found out just in time she voted for Trump and did not believe women or POC could be leaders. Anyway, that’s my experience. I feel I have to avoid the other side for my sanity, can’t argue with disinformation and stay calm.
