These families never imagined their loved ones would be drawn to Neo-Nazi groups. Now they're fighting to get them back and begging the government to help.

It would really suck to see your kid get caught up in this.

Not my kids, but my wife is American and I lived there for 10 years before moving our family back here in 2015. I thought all my in-laws were decent people, but found out that they all voted for trump last November, and I have to say it's got me feeling very conflicted. I doubt I'd be able to maintain a relationship with any of them if I were still there, knowing what they chose to support.

I also have family in the US, most of whom voted for the Republican party and, therefore, Trump. Their argument was that the Democrats tax too much. 🤷🏻‍♀️

They're either stupid or they're liars.
