I’m back from my vacation visiting my aunt and uncle…and it was the best vacation I’ve had in years. I could’ve spent the whole vacation just lazing about on their deck and I would’ve been happy. There’s the mountain view and the pine smells and front yard waterfall sounds and the rocking chairs and the happy german shepherd puppy. But we also went boating and scenic driving and went to local restaurants. I had the whole basement apartment to myself, with a TV, pool table, and spotless bathroom and big soft bed. My aunt fixed breakfast every day. Yummm. And yes, they did support Trump, though between us, his name is never mentioned. It helps that they are not anti-vaxxers and that they don’t believe the election was stolen. But they are conservative, both economically and socially. So there was some talk of tax money being wasted on poor people. I mentioned that I thought a bigger problem was billionaires fixing tax legislation for themselves. Their reply? “Yeah, but they earned it.” My reply was, “No they didn’t, c’mon.” The talk ended there. I didn’t mention that with all the goodies they got, two cars, a boat, a mountain home that’s practically a resort, I figured they could probably afford some taxes to go to social programs. But no, I didn’t say that. Wanted to though. But I am still grateful for the wonderful stay. It was sorely needed. And they are family. Even with the divides. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-back-from-my-vacation-with-trumpists/964235)._
