Well, I did a process like this a long time ago. I was raised Republican, where to say "a Democrat" and "the devil" was a synonym. After I left home, and grew, and had experiences, and rethought things, I used to laugh with my mother over the phone, "I'm trying very hard to stay Republican, but it's not working!" In the end I have ended up offending everyone, lol. I'm an anarchist. I think Trump is for our time. That . . . may or may not be a compliment. 1 Link to comment

No reason they should, "The Nehor." I guess for me, I've begun to distance myself from the sort of folks who think Trump is the "Christian" Leader America Needed post-Obama. And, yeah, that has at least impacted my own perception of how I'm related to my religious beliefs, if that's vague enough. Edited November 28, 2018 by cksalmon spelling Link to comment

I would be interested to hear this. I am 1. I don't really understand why it would have an impact on anyone's religious views, which is why I am very interested in your POV of how it's affected you.
