I am on my way to visit my wife’s side of the family who are very faithful and devoted Christians. In fact, it was their family that converted me to one. However, being very apolitical and thus having done zero research, they have bought into the MSM narrative in firmly believing that Trump is a horrible person by every standard. In the very likely chance that it’s brought up, how should I go about explaining the truth to them in the least confrontational way possible?
Since they are very faithful people of God, it should be easy to let them know that Trump and the Republican Party actually have the values that aligns with them. But being so apolitical It is actually really hard to come in from the politic’s perspective . So for once I actually believe I’d cover more ground from a religious angle.
Either way, thank all y’all pedes in advance and I love y’all.

Edit: Grammar and spelling, typing from the phone at an airport

Edit edit: Thank you so much already for all the suggestions flooding in. This is a really important matter to me, since as a new Christian I am encouraged to tell the truth to the best that I can, but it’s really hard to do so going against the beliefs of those that converted me in the first place. I’d hate for my love for the president to be a rift between our otherwise loving family. I’ve been on the road and tired as shit, maybe feeling extra vulnerable as a result. Having you guys backing me up is like an adrenaline shot straight to the heart.

Good luck. But maybe they need to recheck the book of Job. God has a plan, it is action everyday, even if we do not understand it. The Lord sends the tools and heros we need, not the ones we want, as we are fallible.
