How to Talk to [Mamí & Papí] about Anything
Society & Culture:Relationships
Adela loves her dad. “He’s a great husband, a great grandfather, and I just would never do anything to jeopardize the relationship,” she says. There’s just one thing: he voted for Trump because of where he stands on Israel. And now she’s wrestling with her abiding love for him and the political rift it may cause in the family.
Our expert, Victoria Defrancesco Soto, is a political scientist and the assistant dean of civic engagement at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. She is also a contributor for MSNBC.
