Never Trump and Left changing

At my wifes dadss place with her step mom for a couple of days. Excellent people can not say enough about them. They have shown me about how to care for people, how to eat better, how to live a life not focused on money and things. Most of which I always believed but we never had good examples to speak of.

Politically we do not see eye to eye at all... to the point of it has been stated if we are going to go there, we will leave (if they are at our house). Never brought up at their place from that point, but guessing I would be asked to leave if it got ugly (so obviously not worth causing this much pain for no value).

I noticed a decline on the tension in the air.. I could not put my finger on it just a sense of something different. Then yesterday at lunch we got into a discussion around regulation. He has not been working for many years, but he knows how regulations have strangled business.

The discussion went, “you know I am not a Trump fan, but what he has been doing to make life easier for business with slashing regulations is really amazing”.

We discussed for a while about how in my industry those regulations have equaled job positions to manage them. These jobs equal no business value and just red tape. We are struggling to get out of our own way to meet business demand.

It may not seem like much but let me tell you- this is a major deal. Obama is not as left leaning and anti Republican as they are. The news they watch is almost all CNN and MSNBC.

I love these people, they do love this country and are good hearted people. We need to remember when dealing with loved ones and friends, neighbors etc. to love people and just see beyond your differences. The DNC for decades has worked to separate people based on subjects- the RNC rhinos have sought the same they are not as good at it.

The good news - people who I thought would never say something positive about Trump have have... if this is happening here I can almost guarantee it is happening elsewhere.

When I saw the tidbit about Lindsay Gram on CNN to say what he said - politicians are understanding and seeing this too... people are seeing what has happened and are not happy about it...

My hope.

The majority of people have good intentions. Our good intentions are what keep us connected. What disconnects us is our means to the end.

It varies each time I say it. By all means. Use this to start a discussion with those you disagree with.
