This is exactly why I don't judge people for cutting ties with Trump supporters. Many times it's not simply because they voted for Trump; it's because of why they voted for Trump. I can and have retained friendships with Trump voters who I feel don't fully understand the implications of a Trump presidency and what it means to people like me. If they made that vote for more spiteful reasoning, then they are not a friend to me and I wouldn't continue to consider them one. Luckily, for me, the two Trump voter friends I have both seem to be in the first category. I haven't felt the need to cut ties with them.
