When a Massachusetts woman learned that she and her mother could vote early at the same location, she was excited to cast their ballots together in such a historic election.
Both registered Democrats, they took a selfie after voting and sent it to family with the caption: "Voting for the first woman president!"
Days later, they were sitting at the kitchen table when a cousin called Donald Trump rude and awful. In response, the woman's mother grew angry and argued that Hillary Clinton was corrupt. It became clear she had actually voted for Trump.
Even now, nearly two weeks later, the woman is having some difficulty speaking to her mother.
"There's another level now where you can try not to talk politics and you just start crying because you're so disappointed," the woman, who requested anonymity for her family, said. For Thanksgiving dinner this week,
she has even established "safe words" with likeminded relatives so they can redirect the conversation away from politics if necessary.
