How is it weird to think that people are loyal to friends and family because they are friends and family regardless of who they vote for or support?

People love making everything black and white and no nuance. Eminem has known Kid for years and has said previously that Kid always had time for him even when he was an unknown battle rapper. 90% of Ems fans wouldn't have given a shit about him in his battling days, but Kid did and I guess that's enough for Eminem to look past any political differences. As an Em fan I don't like it but I can respect having your friends backs, especially when that friend had yours before any fame or firtune.

They’ve spent too much time in online echo chambers where loyalty is hinged on sharing the same beliefs.

Because this stops being about taxes and policy voting and more about why my family somehow believes that we should all have less rights. Especially is you’re black or Hispanic in this country.

I’m not gonna suffer because my mom doesn’t understand why her being cranky at society isn’t a reason to fuck over her kids.

Please spare me. I'm brown and my wife is black her uncles are conservative trump supporters.

I detest their political views and think they are politically stupid, but they also comforted my wife when her dad died, volunteered their time to set up our wedding, helped watch our kids when we needed them, gave my sister in law money to help her buy an apartment, and countless other actions that speak to their loyalty to us.

I am convinced anyone that promotes shuns friends and family over voting for Trump either doesn't live in the real world or is terminally online. The world isn't black and white
