Anybody else's family in a shambles due to this election? [View all]

Mine is.

On one side is me, my sister, her SO, and my husband

On the other: my dad & his wife

In the middle: My brother & his wife (they are anti-Trump but maintain that "everyone has a right to their opinion)

Fuck the fascists. Fuck Trump.

He has destroyed this country.
