The New York Times Ethicist advice column responded to a reader question about how Democratic voters should deal with close relatives who supported President-elect Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the election. The Ethicist suggested speaking honestly with family members about their own views, but advised against directing vitriol at them. The column comes as others also question how to grapple with the results of the election and whether to separate from loved ones who voted differently. Some experts argue that it is acceptable to distance oneself from family members who voted against one's livelihood.
