We can have different opinions but don't have to fight each other for it. I can see that it is difficult to consent but there does seem to be no respect whatsoever for the other person if they vote for the other party, no matter how much respect that person would deserve for their own achievements.<br /><br />I hope there will be an end to it. But I had already hoped it would get better after the elections. Instead, it got worse. :(Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-44141787031900722972017-06-13T16:43:52.330+02:002017-06-13T16:43:52.330+02:00We have differing political views in our family an...We have differing political views in our family and even among some of our friends.
