That is really sad.......I read something very profound on FB yesterday....I have a lot of Republicans in my life (I don't know how the hell that happened) and some friendships got a little strained after hurling insults back and forth. What I read was about not allowing this election to alienate relationships, trying to understand each other's perceptions, etc....i know that is a tough task given this election will go down in the history books. The whole country is divided; maybe your niece could understand that even though you stand on the other side of the fence, you still love each other and that fence can be torn down..... Heck, you know what to say and do...as long as you respect each other's viewpoint.....I just tried to explain to my 15 yr old granddaughter how DT was elected....she doesn't understand that either....
Your niece is young, and she will calm down and hopefully realize, she over reacted. DT stepped on a lot of toes, but when she realizes most of the threats made will not come to fruition because no man or President has that much power. Plus, he is a liar....sorry.....
I feel badly for you, but if she doesn't go with you Thanksgiving, it still won't be end of World.....just give it time to heal....in any case, I am so sorry......We can't let politics damage our friendships and familyships....and I do hope this doesn't keep you apart for long....I think everyone will cool down, but some of us need time to grieve......typing in the dark sucks....anyway, Good luck and have fun in Hawaii......nice if u and User could meet for a drink......
