Their struggle isn't shared thou. Trump supporters are not a monolith, they are composed of a diverse number of groups with different and often competing interests.
It is absolutely shared in the sense that any hardship they face is solely because they voted for Donald Trump. We ran into this last night with my MIL. She thought both the employees at Lowe's and Panda Express were "harassing" her because they somehow knew she was a Trump supporter.
My wife said that people were just having a hard time right now to avoid the conflict and her mom responded that "Oh that must be Trump's fault too" and stormed out of her husband's birthday party lmao.
Trailer Park burnt down? Must be someone who hates that they love Trump. Economy crashing? Must be because they just hate Trump.
It's so fucking annoying.
Sounds like your MIL is in the 2nd stage of grief.
