It's unlikely that anyone you know who voted for a candidate you don't like really made any impact on the outcome

- I am not saying you shouldn't shame people for their voting choice as a demonstration of lack of critical thought or moral compass. You should.
- I am not saying that all the political parties are equally guilty. I am obviously talking about Trump as the much greater evil of the available evils.
- I am not saying that votes never count or have impact. They sometimes do.
All I really want to say is that blaming your friends and family for the election outcome is misguided and probably serves to benefit the political machine in its current form more than it serves to affect voter choice.

Yeah, no. Fuck my hate filled, transphobic parents and Kool aid drinking ultra conservative siblings. They knew exactly who they were voting for, and they can get fucked.
See point 1
It’s very difficult to reconcile situations such as mine where all but two in my immediate family are reliable red voters whose candidates want to remove rights from myself and my friends who are mostly some form of queer.
